Rockland, MA – December 31, 2024 – Cutter Associates, a leading provider of consulting services and research for asset managers, asset owners, wealth managers, and other investment companies around the world, brought together over 300 industry professionals from nearly 100 firms for research member meetings and exclusive executive roundtables in Sydney, London, and Naples, Florida.
Cutter has held research member meetings since its founding over 25 years ago, for the purpose of presenting proprietary research findings and bringing together industry professionals for networking and learning opportunities. Research topics are decided each year by Cutter members with topics for 2024 including AI use cases, ESG, data governance, client portal solutions, private debt, and portfolio analytics.
“The meetings, locations, and format have evolved over the years to meet the needs of our growing global member base,” said Gina McCafferty, Principal and Head of Research at Cutter Associates. “The U.S. meeting is now a three-day event with a packed agenda, guest keynote speaker, social gatherings, and vendor exhibits. Firms continue to send multiple representatives to all three meetings, and highly value the opportunity to connect and network with their peers in an exclusive setting,” continued McCafferty.
Approximately 30% of attendees globally are c-suite executives and department heads, with another 20% comprised of VPs and directors.
“The attendance and interaction at these events are a testament to the quality reports and presentations of Cutter’s research team,” said Cindy Castellano, CEO at Cutter Associates. “We are very proud of the fact that firms continue to renew their Cutter research membership year after year, and value the content and professional network that we provide,” continued Castellano.
Cutter’s 2025 research agenda, including research reports, benchmarking surveys, whitepapers, and events, will be available in early 2025.
