All buy side passes are carefully vetted. If you register for a buy side pass and do not qualify as buy side under our criteria (see below), your pass *will* be cancelled and you may not be informed.
‘Buy side’ firms are any end user client who have AUM on their books and do not have any trading clients – we classify the following types of firms as buy side:
Any firm that has trading clients of their own or trade on behalf of other asset managers - sell side tier 1, 2 and 3 banks, broker dealers, prime brokers, custodians, prime of primes, ETF providers (including asset manager ETF issuers), outsourced trading desks, consultants, fund administrators, technology providers, platforms and venues - do not fall into the definition of a ‘buy side’ firm. Proprietary firms will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, entirely at our discretion, and may or may not be granted a buy side pass.
