Public Funds Roundtable 2020 | Institutional Investor | 19 October 2020 | The Beverly Hilton, 9876 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, USA

The current environment is one of high anxiety – socially and in many cases economically. The fabric of geopolitical unity is in tatters, equity markets act of their own volition, credit quality is of increased concern, emerging markets continue to be challenged, and the world prepares for slowed growth. All the while, U.S. public plans continue to fight an uphill battle against their funded statuses.

However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for cautious optimism in public pension investing.

Governance can be altered. Allocators can leverage relationships for mutual benefit. New paradigms of investment opportunity are emerging. As market cycles shift, there is an increased opportunity along with increased risk.
