SEM Consortium
Small, Emerging, and Diverse Managers Conference
In 2023, GCM Grosvenor combined the SEM Conference and Consortium, into a singular event with the sole purpose of elevating the small, emerging, and diverse investment manager community.
The goal of the newly branded “SEM Consortium” is to provide continued training and education to diverse and emerging investment managers and dedicated networking among institutional investors and consultants, who will gain a “first look” at top manager talent.
