Sovereign Investor Forum 2019 | Central Banking | 18 November 2019 | The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, Nation Tower - Corniche Rd - Abu Dhabi - UAE

With an esteemed line-up of international speakers, drawn from across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the forum informed and provided insight to all participants during the one-day programme. The day’s sessions presented a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities facing sovereign investors.

Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) are expected to manage an increasing share of foreign exchange reserves. Compared to central banks, SWFs have higher risk tolerance and invest less in US assets. This forum covered everything from managing funds and portfolios in the uncertain and unchartered investment environment to mitigating risks.
