Agenda:

Keynote Speaker:

• Martin Gerber, CFA, Director, President & CIO, Head of Asset Allocation, Connor, Clark & Lunn Investment Management

Martin will discuss some key secular forces emerging within the global economy and financial markets, and implications for asset returns during the next cycle. The most significant change is the secular shift in the outlook for inflation and interest rates globally. This will require a paradigm shift in how investors approach asset allocation. The recommended strategies of the past decade to diversify market (beta) exposures and increase allocations to private assets may not be sufficient to meet objectives going forward.
