The programme skillfully balances global market intelligence with practical sessions, sharing investment insights from leading investment houses with strong ties to the Mauritius International Financial Centre (IFC). Notable international speakers include:

• Mr Ajay Tyagi, CFA – Head of Equities, UTI Asset Management (co-owned by the Government of India). UTI launched one of Mauritius’s first offshore funds in 1994, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to the jurisdiction.
• Mr Adarsh Juwaheer – Fund Manager, MCB Capital Markets, whose locally domiciled funds have successfully broadened retail participation in capital markets.
• Mr Édouard Taieb – Chief Investment Officer, Necker Finance (Suisse). Under Mr Rémy Mabillon’s leadership, Necker Finance has significantly relocated wealth-management activities to Mauritius since 2014, a clear vote of confidence in the IFC.
