Endowments & Foundations Roundtable 2017 | Institutional Investor | 6 June 2017 | Boston, MA

Long a watchword for Silicon Valley, the term “disruption” can now be commonly applied to the economy, the financial markets and, as recent history has proven, governing institutions both at home and abroad. Faced with a world where the only thing certain is uncertainty, how can investors succeed when the past is definitely not prologue? Three decades of declining interest rates seems to be ending; equity markets are sending bewildering signals; European integration may well be unraveling; and in Washington, there is a new and volatile sheriff in town. Which portions of the conventional wisdom still apply — and what truths need to be unlearned?
