Globalization is being challenged like never before making investment decision-making ever more important. In addition, with traditional assumptions about asset allocation and portfolio diversification shifting and sustainable finance an ever-increasing preoccupation, the normal rules of investment may not apply. How should investors adapt to this “new normal”? We have lined up a number of industry professionals who will discuss and provide insights to many of these pressing challenges shaping the current investment landscape.

Please join us for MSCI’s 14th Annual Institutional Investor Conference, exclusively for pension plans, foundations, endowments and investment consultants held at the offices of CalSTRS and CalPERS in Sacramento, California.
