As the global economy begins to show signs of recovery, Japanese investors need to re-examine their policy asset allocation strategies, re-evaluate alternative investment commitments and review manager selections. The global financial crisis has certainly forced investors to re-think some basic investment tenets — from the efficient market hypothesis to the efficient frontier approach and from asset allocation principles to concepts of diversification.
This annual forum will provide the ideal platform for Japanese pension funds and institutional investors, asset consultants, advisors and leading asset managers to discuss, debate and exchange ideas and perspectives. In a series of sessions offering keynote addresses, formal presentations and panel discussions, forum delegates will explore a range of issues relating to portfolio construction as well as investment practices.
