Robert Walters sponsors AIMA host Summer Social

Robert Walters has sponsored the Alternative Investment Management Association’s (AIMA) annual Summer Social event on the roof-top patio of the National Club on Bay Street.

The networking event was attended by over 80 professionals from Toronto's alternative investment management community, including CFOs, COOs, General Counsel and Partners from a wide range of organisations including fund managers, accounting firms and legal firms.

"AIMA represents the global alternative investment industry, providing their members with guidance relating to business practice, due diligence and compliance, as well as hosting educational events and playing an active role in developing policy," commented Martin Fox, Managing Director, Robert Walters Canada.

"As a recruiter we recognise that AIMA's membership includes a huge number of exceptionally talented and skilled professionals, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to help support networking events like the Summer Social."

Headquartered in London, AIMA has branches in Toronto, New York, Hong Kong, Sydney, Shanghai and Singapore, with volunteer networks also in Tokyo, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Brazil and the Middle East. AIMA has over 1,800 corporate members in more than 50 countries, collectively managing $1.8 trillion in hedge fund and private debt assets.

"As such, supporting an organisation like AIMA is a natural partnership for us to build, helping their members connect with opportunities both in Canada and overseas."
