The extreme uncertainty of the global economy requires a new risk management framework. This session will examine the rapidly changing risks to the global economy and the need for new ways of behaving, making decisions and even reversing decisions.

How have different governments around the world responded to the health and economic crisis and what are some of the innovative responses that will stimulate the economy and ensure a sustainable recovery?

The crisis has seen unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy responses around the world. So what are the implications for investments?

Given the extreme volatility in markets, the changing global economic risks and policy responses, what is the future of the funds management industry?

Is the COVID-19 crisis the paradigm shift needed to redefine business for the 21st century and build trust between business and society? The crisis has hastened the trend towards ‘purpose before profit’ and the fact that purposeful companies will be the ones that thrive in the future.

The coronavirus crisis has resulted in an unprecedented number of defaults and presents an opportunity of a life time for distressed debt investors. Where are the opportunities and how should investors allocate capital both domestically and internationally?

The coronavirus pandemic has impacted the way we work and live in unprecedented ways that are impacting how we consume. These thematics – including the increased use of technology, working from home, and online shopping – are acute in the real estate sector. This session will examine what this means for the asset class opportunities and risks as well as learnings for the whole portfolio. How investors can best combine listed and unlisted opportunities, and balance liquidity, will also be considered.

How are investors positioning portfolios and managing short and-long term risks in the current environment?

An intimate Q&A with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, President Emeritus and the Charles W. Eliot University Professor of Harvard University. 

Building on the previous session where the largest fund  in the US, and the largest fund in Europe, discuss their portfolio positioning as a result of the crisis, and their-forward looking projections, investors have a chance to discuss with their peers ideas and opportunities for investment via curated, interactive zoom rooms. Investors will also report back to the entire group with a description of their discussions.

Even before the current crisis, globalisation was under threat due to the wave of populism around the world. So does this crisis mark the end of globalisation? What would de-globalisation look like given the interconnectedness and complexity of the economy and what does it mean for investors’ portfolios?

How are investors tackling the issues of de-globalisation and the impact on their portfolios?

The geopolitical stresses already present in the global economy have been further fractured by the current crisis, especially the relationship between the US and China. What can we learn from history and what it all means for institutional investors?

The impact of the COVID-19 health and economic crisis is acutely more severe in emerging markets. What will the long-term impact of this be, and could the Renminbi emerge as a safe-haven currency?

This session will examine the impact of the crisis on China, the likely projection of its recovery and the role for the private sector.

The pandemic has shed the spotlight on supply chain issues across all industries, so what does that look like in financial services? This session will highlight the need for resilience and robust continuity planning.

The COVID-19 global health and economic crisis has highlighted the need for leadership and capital to be urgently targeted towards the vulnerabilities in the global economy. So what does a sustainable recovery look like and how can institutional investors collaborate to make sure it happens?

In conversation with the current recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics, Esther Duflo, this session will look at the phenomenon of inequality and the way in which economics and finance can help meet the challenge for a better, more equal, world.

This session will look at the development of a vaccine for COVID-19 and what cooperation is needed to fight the virus. More broadly it will examine the way in which bio-medical engineering is meeting the needs of changing demographics and creating a better future.

Given the disruption and chaos currently facing the world, society and economies, this session looks at what an imagined future would look like and what the role of finance could be in a more informed and sustainable world.

Investors will have the chance to join zoom rooms with speakers and their peers to discuss the themes of the conference. These include the changing geopolitical dynamics and the potential unravelling of globalisation; the unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy responses and the implications for investments; how investors are positioning portfolios and managing short and long-term risks; supply chain risks and responsible capitalism; and what a sustainable recovery looks like and how investors can ensure it happens.
