Ideas you won't hear anywhere else
Most investment conferences discuss the same stocks, the same macro themes, and the same consensus narratives.
Weird Shit Investing is different.
Since 2024, Weird Shit Investing has brought together fund managers, private investors, and family offices in Hong Kong, London, and New York to present their most unusual and compelling investment ideas.
Opportunities that are too obscure, too niche, too controversial, or simply too unconventional for mainstream investment events.
What began as a niche gathering of unconventional investors has quickly become one of the investment industry's most talked-about events.
Now, for the first time, Weird Shit Investing goes online, bringing together many of the best presenters from the past three years for a full day of high-conviction investment ideas.
Whether you're a fund manager, private investor, family office, or simply curious about unusual opportunities, you'll gain exposure to ideas and approaches that sit well outside the investment mainstream.
Ideas you are unlikely to hear about elsewhere.
Why attend?
Discover opportunities ignored by mainstream research
Learn how experienced investors uncover hidden value
Explore markets, structures, and asset classes most investors never encounter
Build a watchlist of unconventional ideas for further research
Gain frameworks for identifying your own overlooked opportunities
Directly engage with speakers through live Q&A
This isn't a conference about following the crowd.
It's a conference about looking where nobody else is looking.
What kind of ideas are presented?
Genuinely original investment ideas. Ideas outside the box. Inspirations you wouldn't hear about elsewhere!
While every presentation is different, subjects typically include:
- Very complex investment cases
- Less liquid securities
- Extreme mispricing
- Crisis investing
- Banned investments
- Litigation investing
- Roadmaps for going activist
- Demutualisation
- Unusual financing structures
- Exotic but tradeable bourses
- Dormant assets
- Funds with a twist
- Niche alternative assets
- Outlier subjects of broad interest
- Non-equity opportunities
From the perspective of corporate fund managers: weird shit.
However, investments that are off the beaten path are often all the more interesting. All of the securities presented at this online conference can be researched, analysed, and invested in.
