Enabling COOs from Europe’s largest and most innovative hedge funds to collaborate, learn and connect
The role of a hedge fund COO is constantly evolving, and 2025 brings new challenges, including regulatory scrutiny, geopolitical risks, ESG pressures, and AI's growing impact. Modern COOs must prioritise efficiency, innovation, talent retention, and cybersecurity while managing compliance and cost pressures.
Having access to a peer network is essential for navigating these complexities and staying ahead in a competitive and rapidly evolving industry.
The HFM European COO Club, exclusively for COOs and senior operations managers, provides year-round networking and educational events. These create optimal environments for attendees to debate critical topics, share insights, and connect effectively.

Engaging events: Tailored for insight, collaboration and connection building

We work closely with members to tailor the content and format of these events, ensuring they address the most pressing topics and challenges.
Additionally, the Club hosts dedicated initiatives such as the Women’s Network and Next Gen Network, which provide support, mentorship, and development opportunities for women leaders and emerging talent in the hedge fund industry.
