2021 PI Africa Month, a resounding success! | AME Trade | 10 March 2022 | InterContinental Resort Mauritius, Balaclava Fort Coastal Road Balaclava MU, 21306, Mauritius

The only dedicated Pension Funds and Alternative Investment show in Africa, in its 4th successive year, was a resounding success. Throughout the month of March, we held 14 industry related sessions, one masterclass and numerous virtual meetings. PI Africa 2021 played host to over 346 attendees, including 63 African funds, 57 speakers, 13 sponsors and 7 industry associations. The conference addressed a wide range of topics related to the Pensions and Alternative Investment industry, including sessions on African Fixed Income, Technology for Alternative Investments, and Relaunching Economies through workable infrastructure investment models, among others. We look forward to revealing the new info about the 5th PI Africa event, taking place on the 17 & 18th of March 2022. In the meantime, have a look at PI Africa 2021 post show report.
