The New Silk Road is a community of investors from major financial centers—New York, London, Hong Kong, and Dubai—focused on understanding how long-term trends along the Silk Road are transforming global markets.
The New Silk Road Forum is our annual flagship summit. We host it each year along the old Silk Road. Amidst an intense couple of days of debate and discussion–and punctuated by 5-star revelry–each community member holds the floor at some point, communicating a personal perspective on where there’s the most opportunity.
The Forum is an offline experience of listening, connection, and Chatham House rules. We also host guest speakers with unique perspectives; these have included central bankers, chief executives, and mavericks.
Who We Are
We are global citizens who traverse borders–not only geographically, but intellectually and emotionally. We are merchants of experience who connect worlds through friendship and turn insight into action. Our journey began in 2017, when a group of global equity hedge fund managers gathered in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Since then, the Forum has evolved into a global network, with summits and events in London, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Baku, New York, and Jackson Hole.
We blur the line between speaker and participant, encouraging candid, cross-disciplinary conversations. Every participant is a speaker.
As one member of our community opined, “The New Silk Road Forum is like attending the best business school in the world—replete with groundbreaking ideas, expanded worldview, lifelong friendships, and practical know-how directly from peers at the top of their fields—all crammed into a few days of fun.”
