Company

Roundtable Forum made its debut in New York in May of 1999 and was formally incorporated by its founder and President, Jane Amanda Halsey, in 2000.

 

Since its inception there have been a total of 84 Forums in New York, London, Geneva, Zurich, Dallas, San Francisco, Palm Beach and Hartwell GA, featuring over 1,000 managers and their funds. Today the Forum is widely regarded as the alternative investment industry’s leading, independent allocator introduction and due diligence event. Our curated approach is often imitated but never equaled.

 

“We are the highly civilized alternative to capital introduction for managers and allocators.”
