A forum for investment leaders
Sustainability in Practice: ‘Navigating the impact revolution’ will take place at Harvard University in Cambridge US on September 13-15. This global event will bring together asset owners, managers and academics for a practical take on sustainable investment. This conference is specifically aimed at CIOs and showcases practical case studies on how investors around the world are tackling sustainability issues. It will look at the portfolio construction and investment implementation implications of sustainable investing including the complexity of applying risk, return and outcome goals.
This conference is an urgent call to action for all investors to influence investee companies to change their focus and put people before profits to create a more sustainable economy, and to wake up to the crucial role they play in ensuring a sustainable recovery.
SUITABLE FOR: Institutional investors, chairs of investment committees and specialist consultants from the world’s largest pension, sovereign wealth and endowment funds.
This event will co-ordinate academics specialising in investment management and behavioural finance.
It will explore the applicability of the efficient market hypothesis in the current market environment – across different asset classes – and the tension between efficient markets and quantitative techniques with behavioural finance and fundamental analysis – challenging investors to think differently about asset allocation and investments, governance and decision-making.
