The Fiduciary Investors Symposium 2020 global digital program will address the pertinent issues for investors in navigating a crisis environment. It will explore the leadership and investment issues in the short and long term including the disruption to portfolio construction, liquidity and risk management issues, and the need to fast-track purpose before profit. It will explore the changing nature of the global economy and whether the status quo processes and behaviours that investment professionals undertake to tackle risks and opportunities will be sufficient in the future.
This online interactive conference will bring together investors and speakers to share the stories and ideas around investment opportunities out of this crisis and how it can be an opportunity for a more equal and sustainable economy.
The solution to slowing global growth lies in a new way of thinking, said Stephanie Kelton, a leading Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) scholar at Stony Brook University and senior economic advisor to presidential candidate, Senator Bernie Sanders.
Low for ever, a risen China and climate change, are just some of the 10 changes set to sweep through the investment industry in the next 10 years, said Cyrus Taraporevala, president and chief executive of State Street Global Advisors. In his opening speech to 85 asset owners from 20 countries responsible for a combined $9 trillion assets under management at the Fiduciary Investors Symposium at Harvard University, Taraporevala described a brave new world where only the fittest survive.
“We take the S in ESG very seriously,” said John Adler, mayor’s trustee and advisor to the other mayoral appointees at New York City’s $200 billion five retirement systems. Speaking at the Fiduciary Investors Symposium at Harvard University, Adler highlighted the critical role investors play in protecting workers’ rights and ensuring a just transition as the global economy adapts to the implications of climate change.
