On Thursday, June 12, the prestigious Sohn Monaco Investment Conference returns for its fifth edition at the Monaco Yacht Club, held under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. This highly anticipated event gathers Europe’s top hedge fund managers to present their most compelling investment ideas — all in support of pioneering pediatric cancer research.

Founded in 1995 to honor the memory of Ira Sohn and his courageous fight against cancer, the Sohn Conference Foundation has become a global force in both finance and philanthropy. Over the years, it has inspired more than $95 million in charitable giving from the financial community, fueling breakthroughs in medical research, equipment, and care for children battling cancer.

Today, Sohn Conferences are held in nine cities across five continents, uniting the financial world around a common cause: giving young cancer patients the chance not just to survive, but to thrive.
