The events calendar for the institutional pensions industry

In 2019, Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion made one thing clear: we are running out of time. In this morning workshop we will hear from four leading managers who are pioneering new approaches to investing sustainably.

mallowstreet University takes to the road, this time in Dublin bringing together our Irish members with experts from leading asset managers.

As pension funds map out their ‘end game’, many are working out how to fully transfer their liabilities to an insurer. Over dinner, Sammy Cooper-Smith from Rothesay Life will discuss the following areas and take Q&A on any topics related to risk settlement.

Private debt has proven to be compelling to investors seeking higher yields, with a view to capital preservation, and an increasing focus on cash flow profile. But the elongated economic expansion, record capital formation and terms that are highly favourable to corporate borrowers have created a dilemma for allocators. Securing income from credit sectors with greater barriers to entry, while positioning for dislocation in corporate credit can each help investors to navigate the late stage of the current cycle. This dinner is accredited for CPD points by the Pensions Management Institute (PMI) and is exclusively for pension fund decision makers and their advisors.

Emerging markets is an area of interest to all investors looking for opportunities further from home. Our expert presenters will share their experience, help attendees understand the risks as well as the opportunities to allocating to this fast growing and expanding asset class.

The mallowstreet Defined Benefit Indaba* will bring together some of the industry’s biggest influencers to hear a selection of interactive keynote presentations. These will be interspersed with five Investment Masterclass breakout sessions which will cover key asset classes and investment opportunities, specifically tailored for defined benefit pension funds.
