The rise of passive investing at the expense of active has been a major theme in fund management for years. With growing geopolitical uncertainty, inflation, and continued interest hikes, volatility seems to be here to stay. How are investors adapting to more modest market returns? What is the impact of the explosion in investment data, and the global incorporation of sustainability? What role does technology play in shaping the future of active fund management, and how are firms integrating data analytics and AI to enhance decision-making and drive alpha generation? How is geopolitical uncertainty and geographical allocation shifting market dynamics? This roundtable of leading asset owners will be an opportunity for frank, unfiltered discussion about the future of the industry.
