The appointment marks a strategic pivot for the Philadelphia-based firm as it seeks to scale its private markets footprint. Conway brings a deep resume to the position, having previously overseen BlackRock’s $350 billion Alternatives business and held senior roles at Blackstone. His mandate is to leverage this experience to accelerate the firm’s growth, building on a recent wave of acquisitions including Portfolio Advisors and Post Road Group’s digital infrastructure unit.
Future Standard Taps Industry Veteran Edwin Conway as CEO
After two decades of building Future Standard into a $94 billion alternative asset manager, co-founder Michael Forman is stepping into a full-time Executive Chairman role. He hands the chief executive reins to Edwin Conway, a financial veteran with extensive leadership experience at BlackRock and Blackstone.
Forman, who co-founded the firm to broaden access to private investment solutions, will now dedicate his time to long-term strategy, fund oversight, and maintaining high-level client relationships. This leadership shift follows the firm's recent expansion into new international markets, including Dubai, Seoul, and Tokyo. The executive transition is supported by a broader recruitment push at Future Standard, which has recently added several senior leaders to its management team, including Chris Keogh as Co-President and Tosin Orimogunje as Chief Commercial Officer of Investment Solutions.
