The Fund Finance Association (FFA) Next Gen Network recently held its inaugural event in New York City. About 75 young professionals working in the fund finance industry – bankers, private market professionals and lawyers – convened at First Republic Bank’s New York City offices for an evening of introductions and libations. The event was well-attended and enjoyed by all in attendance.
Nick Mitra, member of the FFA Board, gave a brief speech focusing on the importance of developing professional networks early in one’s career and leveraging FFA Next Gen events to meet and connect with our peers. Jorge Grafal of National Australia Bank also gave a brief speech thanking the planning committee and highlighting the mission of Next Gen, which is to share market insights and benefit from educational, networking and mentorship opportunities in an engaging atmosphere. Next Gen looks forward to hosting many more events going forward, he said.
Special thanks to Jorge and to Alexa Shulte of Frist Republic for coordinating such a successful event.
