Improving Your Strategic Asset Allocation: Modeling Liquidity and Shifting Risk

On January 29-30 in San Francisco we will present the latest, best thinking on the ways that North American pension funds and US endowments and foundations can respond to a volatile global investment landscape recognized for its rapidly changing dynamics. An opportunity and risk set which looks hardly at all like the world of even a few years ago – with one key exception, the continuing low rate environment which is driving so many strategic asset allocation decisions.

We hope you will be able to join us for this day and a half intensive seminar to learn about the decisions North American pension funds, endowments, and foundations are making as they address the today’s global investment landscape.
