Fiduciary Management & Investment Governance for Pension Funds
August 25, 2020
Purpose
This interactive virtual meeting will aim to focus on investment governance, fiduciary management, ESG requirements, custody, transparency and cost management. We will assess various strategies and approaches such as the place of superfunds and ways to improve governance without increasing risk or net costs. We will also take a look at practical issues such as selecting, implementing and monitoring fiduciary managers and custodians, regulatory impacts and seek to determine what other issues pension funds should consider.
