Mercer Global Investment Forums 2021 - Canada | Mercer | 14 June 2021 | Virtual

The Forums provide a global platform for members of the investment community to learn, share and connect according to the needs and constraints of the time. We are delivering the Canadian Global Investment Forum virtually to you in the safety of your own space. In embracing this format, the Forum is able to connect together asset owners, asset managers and Mercer investment consultants, researchers and portfolio managers around the globe for a more robust learning and sharing experience.

In addition to the main presentations and breakout sessions, the agenda includes 55-minute Learn, Share and Connect (LSC) sessions, which are asset manager-led presentations on investment strategies, trends that are creating opportunities or threats for clients, and other ideas innovations. Interested asset owners and Mercer Wealth professionals can sign up to attend any of these LSC sessions that will take place over the course of the Forum.
