The “Canadian model” has long been a pin up for pension organisations and has been a benchmark for peers around the world looking to emulate their success. This conference will explore and debate the tenets of that success for the future including governance and delegated investment authority; large allocations to illiquid assets; insourcing investment management; the use of leverage; and a deliberate focus on costs. The conference will also explore how investors need to build portfolios for resilience and the key themes impacting the future of the investment industry including machine learning/AI and the path to net zero.
The conference enables asset owners from around the world to explore investment themes, risks and opportunities with their global peers, and explore cutting edge approaches to risk management, liquidity management and portfolio construction.
The Fiduciary Investors Symposium at Stanford University celebrates the fast-moving change taking place in economies and communities and will examine the impact of innovation on our lives, workplaces and investments.
More investors than ever before put their words in to action and made sustainability commitments. The Sustainability in Practice conference looks at the meaningful steps that investors are taking to integrate sustainability including the impact on asset allocation and structural shifts of net zero. It will look at the portfolio construction and investment implementation implications of sustainable investing including the complexity of applying risk, return and outcome goals. Delegates will be left with functional tools to implement their sustainability commitments and cutting-edge research to share with their boards and investment committees.
