General Sessions

Navigating the Global Economy

In this session, our panelists will assess the state and outlook for the global economy and capital markets. Most importantly, they will offer perspectives on the signals long-term investors should be looking for to guide portfolio policies.

Investing in Transformative Change with Venture Capital

A leading venture capital manager will discuss their unique approach to investing in, and managing and growing, portfolio companies. The emphasis will be on arming investment committees with the information they need to position policy portfolios for long-term success.

The United States and China - It’s Complicated

In this session, our experts will assess the current state of U.S.-China relations with a particular focus on what it means for the global economy, trade, and ultimately investment opportunities and risks for fiduciaries of long-term portfolios.

The Sustainability Conundrum

We will examine some of the challenges with data and ranking systems, describe our conclusions regarding the existence of a return premium and risk exposures and, finally, propose an “E” factor that we believe can be used to identify sustainable compa-nies and managers.

The Changing Global Order

In this session, world renowned speaker, journalist and author, Fareed Zakaria, will take us on a tour of the world and the major challenges and opportunities confronting us.

CIO Roundtable

Our distinguished panel of women CIOs will share their perspectives on portfolio management, discuss their best investment ideas, and describe how they are transform-ing investment stewardship.
