BlackRock in collaboration with mallowstreet, is pleased to be holding its
fourth University Dinner in 2012. Lessons from 2008/9 prompted many pension schemes to re-evaluate their
governance structures. Today we are seeing an increased level of dynamism as
trustees look to capture opportunities or avoid market volatility. Whilst
boardroom behaviour has evolved, so has the investment toolkit, enabling schemes
to optimise solutions that blend the best of active and passive across asset
classes and geographies.
Stephen Cohen, managing director and head of
investment strategy & insight for iShares, will lead a discussion on how
investors across Europe are moving away from old orthodoxies to meet the
challenges posed by current market conditions. As part of this Stephen will
discuss how ETFs can be used as part of your tool kit and as a diversification
tool.
This is a FREE event for Pensions Secretaries, Pensions Managers,
Trustees, Pensions Chairs, Independent Trustees and Advisors. Please note that
spaces are limited and available on first come first serve basis. To avoid
disappointment please register for this event below.
