As global markets become more inter-twined, there is an impetus for Chief Investment Officers (CIOs) globally to connect, collaborate, co-invest and challenge existing norms.
This symposium will focus on investment strategies and their implementation for the world’s largest pension and sovereign wealth funds, multi-managers, insurance funds and asset consultants.
Through the interactions, there is the potential to infuence global outcomes with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. In effect, this is a “mini-Davos for the global institutional investment community”.
