WHY DO WE EXIST?
The Alternative Future Foundation was established in 2002, born from the philanthropic efforts of the alternative investment industry with the inaugural Hedge Funds Rock fundraising event in Sydney. Since then, members from every part of the investment community—investment managers, brokers, bankers, auditors, lawyers, administrators, and investors—have come together to support this mission.
​
The Foundation’s goal is clear: to harness the collective generosity and financial resources from both within and beyond the Australian alternative investment community. By building a permanent capital base, we support a range of focused charitable initiatives, creating meaningful, positive changes for individuals and families and fostering brighter alternative futures.
​
In 2024, we expanded the Hedge Funds Rock fundraising night into an entire week of events, now known as Sydney Alternative Investment Week, held annually in September. For more details on this exciting series of events and how you can get involved, click here.
“The COVID19 pandemic has thrown into sharp relief the issue of domestic and family violence, and the need to provide safe solutions for women and children experiencing it. I am incredibly grateful to partner with organisations like AFF and Hedge Funds Rock to shine a light on our need to respond to a ‘whole of society’ problem with a whole of society solution, raising awareness around the issue and providing vital financial support to ensure women and children are safe when they need it most”
— Annabelle Daniel, OAM - CEO
