As pension plans mature and with new regulatory constraints, plan sponsors are constantly seeking new investment opportunities to generate the returns they need to match their liabilities.
Identifying future winners in financial markets requires an underlying investment philosophy built on quality, concentration, and a firm belief in the longer-term point of view. In his session, David Onyett-Jeffries from Guardian Capital will explore the necessary building blocks for strategies designed to unlock reliable sources of Alpha, thereby driving market-leading performance and embedding downside protection.
Margaret Childe, from Manulife Investment Management, explains how institutional investors are taking ESG integration to the next level – climate risk scenario analysis at both the micro and macro level in an effort to better measure portfolio impact.
Canadian fixed income assets are showing strong returns this year to the surprise of many in the investment community. Erwan Pirou, from Aon will explore the question; is this sustainable or should we expect much lower returns in the future? This session will suggest solutions for making your fixed income allocation work harder in your portfolio and how to be ready to seize opportunities in a more dynamic environment.
Amidst low interest rates, shifting geopolitical forces and a challenging macro-economic environment, David Ross, will share how OPTrust is taking a strategic approach to delivering on its mission of paying pensions today, and preserving pensions for tomorrow.
