HK’s finest came out to socialise at the China Club
A great Hedge Funds Club social evening in Hong Kong featured a large crowd, terrific tequila and delicious schragels.
Really good old-school networking requires a few key things. The main ones are terrific people and a hopping venue. Fortunately, the Hedge Funds Club had both when it hosted another busy and fun evening soiree in Hong Kong on 23rd October 2024. The evening also showed us that tequila and New York-style bagels are great to have when you want to create a fun night on the town for a hedge fund crowd.
The China Club is a retro-chic, Shanghai-style club on the top three floors of the old Bank of China Building. The decor is in the style of a traditional Chinese tea house. The floors, lighting and fans are reminiscent of 1930s Shanghai and there is some excellent retro-chic modern Chinese art on the walls. It is a splendid venue that has hosted many Hedge Funds Club evenings over the years. This evening the room was busy from the get-go as Hong Kong’s finest fund managers and smartest fund allocators turned up for an evening of old-school fun. OP Investment Management’s tequila stand was once again a popular place to start the drinking and the conversations.
Hedge funds and bagels go hand in hand. What’s better than bagels? Schragels of course. Rebecca Schrage is the founder and boss of Schragels, the only deli supplying New York-style bagels in Hong Kong. At the end of the evening, she handed out her excellent kettle-boiled and stone-baked schragels as leaving gifts to the good-looking and powerful crowd attending the Hedge Funds Club evening soiree.
