The Long-Short is a podcast by the Alternative Investment Management Association, focusing on the very latest insights on the alternative investment industry.

Each episode will examine topical areas of interest from across the alternative investment universe with news, views and analysis delivered by AIMA’s global team, as well as a host of industry experts.

Chris Hughes, Editor-in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Finance Week, returns to The Long-Short for an on-the-ground perspective on the UAE after an extraordinary year for the region. We discuss the continued growth of its financial sector, the long-term commitment of international firms, what is driving the UAE’s appeal as a global financial centre, and what to expect from Abu Dhabi Finance Week – including AIMA’s inaugural Global Hedge Fund Leadership Platform.
