The first Fiduciary Investors Symposium will bring together the investment decision-makers at the world’s largest funds from more than 20 countries, to stimulate debate, encourage collaboration and challenge existing investing norms.

Aimed exclusively at asset owners, the event reinforces the ideology of conexust1f.flywheelstaging.com that large investors face common ground in executing best-practice investment strategies and implementation, and that the collaboration and exposure of ideas is a fast-track way to progress the industry.

In addition to high-level economic and strategic discussions, the delegates will hear case studies from fiduciary investors in portfolio renovation, risk allocation, developing innovative portfolio performance benchmarks, co-investments in traditional asset classes and the role of active ownership.

Other speakers include:

  • Sharan Burrow, general secretary, International Trade Union Confederation
  • J Peter Chen, principal, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board
  • Bev Durston, head of alternatives, British Airways Pension Fund
