This year's World Economic Forum in Davos, due to take place next week, is already making headlines for its call for "fundamental reforms" of market capitalism to tackle inequality.

But that doesn't mean the bankers and financiers are staying away this year; as in previous years there is an ample supply of delegates from banks, asset managers and alternatives firms. Along with a sprinkling of institutional investors, they make up 12.5% of the 2,484 attendees, according to the 2017 guestlist seen by FN.
