SUMMARY:Live Event- Public Funds Summit 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Public Funds Summit provides a unique environment in which members of the public sector can exchange ideas and learn from other delegates\, money managers\, and consultants. Although attendance is not limited to those in the public sector\, the conference takes aim at topics that are of particular relevance to public pension funds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFunding concerns and declining returns have led many pension plans to seek a balance between risk and reward in order to meet pension obligations. Furthermore\, the role of investment and its returns are essential to the concern of meeting obligations to pension members. How investment managers\, across various strategies\, can aid public pension plans in ensuring a safe future for its members will be key in the conversations at the event. The exchange of ideas both in and out of the session halls is key in educating and identifying viable alternatives that will address these concerns. Beyond the investment sphere\, we also address legal issues facing pension plans\, ethics regulations and the importance of on-going education for plan sponsors and their fiduciaries. We will also discuss the importance of politics and public perception of pension plans and the role that trustees and pension officers have in creating a positive image for their plans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by Opal_Group\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
