Absolute Returns Conference

Conflict, de-globalisation, rising rates, high inflation, an energy crisis, disruption to supply chains and an increasing social conscience all suggest we are entering a markedly different market environment than we have been used to. The implications for the stewards of other peoples’ money in this “new world” are still largely uncertain, whether it be asset owners or asset managers. The Absolute Returns Conference is a unique opportunity for senior investment executives to come together with their professional network and do a deep dive into their investment strategy and portfolio construction.
