A fireside chat between Shundrawn Thomas, president of Northern Trust Asset Management, and CIO Executive Editor Amy B. Resnick will open the CIO Summit in Chicago next month. Their discussion will focus on the shift to sustainability and responsibility in investing and the implications of that change for institutional managers and investors. It will help set the tone for the two-day event.
CIO is hosting the in-person conference for investment officers from leading corporate, public, and not-for-profit investment officers and other senior institutional investment professionals.
The event will feature speakers from pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and foundations, and highlight the techniques they are using to achieve their investment goals. Panels and presentations will include allocators from all arenas speaking about ESG investing and governance issues, building high-performing teams and investment offices, balancing investing for growth with risk mitigation, how geopolitics affect emerging markets, and how new technology is being used to achieve better investment outcomes.
