SPS Virtual: UK & Multinational Pensions Investment, Post-Covid 2021 | SPS Conferences | 15 June 2021 | Virtual

This event is aimed at UK and Multinational pension funds under UK jurisdiction as they try to navigate the post-Covid investment landscape and to assess opportunities and challenges post-pandemic. We expect to examine macro-economic and political impacts such as monetary policy, Brexit and developments in ESG/climate change, as well as the outlook for various asset classes and strategies. These could include thematic investments and real assets as well as geographic & regional investments such as China. We will also consider asset allocation and techniques/tools available to help investors best manage their cashflow and risk management, e.g., CDI, liquid/illiquid investments, dynamic risk management, etc. During the conference, we plan to give delegates the opportunity to join fund-type and/or asset class breakout workshop-groups to enable them to discuss specific concerns/ challenges with appropriate experts and peers – for example: DB, DC, Multinational and/or Equity and Bond investor groups
