Capital moves faster than ever. Investors think globally, not locally. And Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) have become the new language of growth — one written in data, digital platforms, and borderless collaboration.
At this year’s 11th International Funds Summit & Expo, taking place on 2–3 November 2025 at the Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa in Limassol, the panel “AIFs: Capital Raising & Cross-Border Distribution” will bring together four industry leaders who are rewriting the rules of global capital flow: Karolina Gosz-Renzi (Clearstream Fund Services), Nicolas Hausseguy (Euroclear), Dita Jagosova (Clearstream Singapore), and Harrys Michaelides (ECOMMBX Investment).
Their mission? To decode how digitalization, technology, and regulatory evolution are creating smarter, faster, and more transparent pathways for cross-border fund access.
From Data to Deals: The Age of Smart Capital
Karolina Gosz-Renzi, VP, Clearstream Fund Services, knows what it takes to make capital flow seamlessly across borders. In her talk, she’ll explore how new fund distribution models — powered by platforms such as FundsPlace — are enabling managers to connect with investors across hedge funds, private equity, and private credit in a more efficient, technology-driven way.
The Global Vision of Nicolas Hausseguy
As Global Head of Fund Distribution at Euroclear, Nicolas Hausseguy has a front-row seat to the evolution of global fund access.
He’ll take a closer look at how decentralized finance (DeFi), automation, and cross-market collaboration are reshaping fund distribution — making alternative assets more accessible to institutional investors worldwide.
The International Perspective: Dita Jagosova
From Singapore, Dita Jagosova, Vice President, Sales & Relationship Management, Investment Fund Services – Asia, Middle East & Africa at Clearstream Banking, brings a truly global angle to the discussion.
Representing regions that are rapidly emerging as alternative investment powerhouses, she’ll discuss how Asia and the Middle East are expanding their footprint in cross-border fund flows — powered by innovation, digital infrastructure, and regulatory modernization.
Her message is clear: global harmonization and automated compliance are no longer nice-to-haves; they’re the foundation for a connected investment future.
Cyprus in Focus: A Bridge for the Modern Investor
Adding the local yet global perspective, Harrys Michaelides, General Manager of ECOMMBX Investment, will spotlight Cyprus as an agile, forward-thinking investment hub that connects Europe with the Middle East and Asia. With experience spanning digital payments, fintech innovation, and banking operations, Michaelides will explore how Cyprus is evolving into a smart capital ecosystem — one that blends financial sophistication with technological capability.
Capital Raising 2.0: Smarter, Faster, Borderless
The panel “AIFs: Capital Raising & Cross-Border Distribution” will be more than just a conversation — it will be a live strategy session on the future of fund mobility. Expect practical insights, bold predictions, and a forward-looking discussion on what 2026 will bring for fund managers, custodians, and investors navigating an increasingly interconnected world. From Luxembourg and London to Singapore and Limassol, the experts will explore how digital infrastructure, fintech integration, and smart regulation can unlock the next era of capital efficiency.
Cyprus in the Middle of It All
Cyprus continues to rise as a gateway for global funds, offering the ideal mix of European regulation, regional access, and financial innovation.
The Cyprus International Funds Summit, organised by the Cyprus Investment Funds Association (CIFA) and Invest Cyprus, has grown into one of Europe’s premier platforms for fund managers, institutional investors, and policymakers.
With over 300 participants, 50+ top-tier institutions, and speakers from more than 15 countries, this year’s edition will deliver two days of strategic discussion, networking, and market insight in the heart of the Mediterranean.
