The Future of
British Alternatives
The British Emerging Manager Institute supports
the next generation of alternative asset managers
For those who build, we support you
The British Emerging Manager Institute (“BEMI”) has been created for the historically underserved founders of private market fund managers and independent sponsors headquartered or investing in the United Kingdom.
Our mission is to provide cost-effective market access and expertise to support the launch and growth of new asset management firms. Our belief is that a vibrant, responsible and well-capitalised private market manager ecosystem can be an engine for the growth of British companies, and the creation of new British jobs.

Our sponsor partners are leading service providers and investors in emerging managers, providing the capital and expertise to accelerate their growth. No sponsorship is permitted by organisations that do not actively support emerging managers.
Our sponsors’ organisations, services and thought leadership are featured throughout our website and initiatives, to the benefit of our manager members. Membership for emerging managers is free until 2026.
