European Pensions Symposium / European Investment Roundtable

Sep 29th - Oct 1st 2021

Marriott Hotel

Copenhagen

About

The European Pensions Symposium and the European Investment Roundtable meetings will take place together this year to form one of the first and largest pan-European gatherings of leading investment officials since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. These well-established meetings have historically convened up to 100 European pension and insurance fund executives for a three-day programme of interactive workshops, panel sessions, guest speakers and social activities.

The 2021 meeting will offer a unique, off-the-record setting for attendees to share innovative ideas and best practice among European institutional asset owners and managers who ultimately set out to answer the question: What is the latest thinking on asset allocation, investment opportunities and risk management?

This is an invitation-only event and all discussions are held under Chatham House Rule to enable a candid exchange of opinions. The event is free of charge for qualified investors
