Institutional Investor’s Sub-Advisory Institute will present a virtual forum convening several of North America’s top manager research and due diligence executives for a thought-provoking discussion about relationship-building and research agendas in the current environment. We’ll hear from top gatekeepers about how they’ve coped with surging volatility, a homebound workforce, and other operational and investment issues. What were their biggest lessons learned during the coronavirus pandemic, and how will that shape their approach going forward?
Which strategies surprised you the most, and how are your views on asset allocation evolving?
How are communications with advisors and end clients being crafted to ensure consistent and concise messaging?
What do you want to hear from your managers, and how often to you want to hear from them?
Are you initiating new research agendas, or postponing them?
How has your outlook on the industry’s business model changed with regards the boutique, mid-sized, and larger institution?
