Understanding Bitcoin Investment Breakfast
Thursday 30th January 2025, 08:45-10:45
Ten Trinity Club, Four Seasons, 10 Trinity Square, London EC3N 4AJ
Event title: Integrating bitcoin into institutional asset portfolios to improve outcomes
Bitcoin is new to most institutional investors and there have been various barriers to adoption, including: cautiousness about being the first to invest, having secure custody arrangements, understanding how Bitcoin can be integrated with other asset classes such as real estate and equities, and environmental and social factors. These barriers have now been resolved but it will take time for the wider industry to realise and take advantage. This breakfast roundtable is to help open-minded institutional investors to explore these topics in more detail and challenge the conclusions reached.
Sponsors & Speakers:
Sam Roberts, Cartwright and Andrew Hohns, PHD., Founder & CEO, Newmarket Capital
Sam is a qualified actuary and Director of Investment Consulting at Cartwright, an advisory firm helping pension trusts, charitable trusts, funeral trusts, and corporate clients. Cartwright is proud to proactively search for innovative and pioneering ideas, and implement them for clients in a pragmatic way. Cartwright enabled the first UK pension trust to invest a small allocation to bitcoin in October 2024, and looks forward to helping more clients assess whether bitcoin is right for them.

Prior to joining Mariner, Dr. Hohns was a Managing Director at Cohen & Company, which he joined at its inception in 2001. While at Cohen & Company, Institutional Investor named Dr. Hohns as a member of its 2008 “20 Rising Stars of Fixed Income.” Dr. Hohns serves as a member of the Board of Directors of FTAC Emerald Acquisition Corp.
