Reviewing the Benefits to Investing in Commodities, Infrastructure, Real Estate and Other Real Asset Classes and Strategies

Institutional Investor’s 3rd Annual Global Real Assets Investment Forum will carefully examine the outlook for real assets, putting into context both the long-term trends likely to support prices as well as the risk factors that might undermine this view. We will provide opinions on these and other issues from asset managers, senior pension, endowment and foundation executives, and outside experts and academics; we will offer examples from leading institutions on how they have built or are building their real assets investment programs. Through a succession of panel discussions, presentations and workshops, the Forum will assist institutional investors seeking to construct a well diversified real assets portfolio to improve their understanding of the varied opportunities available, the benefits associated with each, the risks they must be cognizant of and the ability to mitigate those that pose the most severe dangers.

To inquire about attending the Global Real Assets Investment Forum — there is no registration fee for those who are invited to attend, although delegates are responsible for their own travel and accommodations — please contact: Jennifer Iannucci at (212) 224-3665 or jiannucci@iiforums.com.
