The Fund Finance Association’s Next Generation initiative held a fun speed mentoring event in London earlier this week to kick off the European Symposium slate of events. Organized by Billal Malik of Citibank, Roisin Marsh of Ashurst and Rob McClean of Cadwalader, the event introduced approximately 50 younger fund finance professionals to more seasoned market participants.  Mentees rotated tables every few minutes to ensure they met everyone. Jeff Johnston of Wells Fargo and the Chairman of the FFA gave the opening remarks. Ashurst was kind enough to sponsor and host the event in their terrific new office space.
