INSIDE THE NATIONAL WEALTH FUND: A FIRESIDE CHAT WITH IAN BROWN

Join us for an exclusive evening with Ian Brown, Interim CEO and an executive director at the National Wealth Fund, as he sits down for a fireside chat to share insights into his work and the current state of play in the world of banking, investments, and sovereign wealth management.   The National Wealth Fund (UK Investment Bank has folded into the NWF) is financing growth, powering change with £27.8bn for transformational UK projects and can provide a range of financing tools across the capital structure, including loans, guarantees and equity investments which align with their mandate.  
 
This engaging conversation will provide a rare opportunity to hear first-hand about the strategy and opportunities  of the NWF that will shape the financial landscape with Ian’s perspectives from leading one of the nation’s most significant investment institutions.

Whether you are an alum working in finance, exploring the sector, or simply curious about the inner workings of large-scale investments and economic development, this is a chance to expand your knowledge, ask questions, and connect with fellow alumni.

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of insightful discussion, meaningful connections, and relaxed networking over drinks and canapés.

We look forward to seeing you on 14 October 2025!
