About

The last several years have presented an ongoing conundrum for investors: Where – in all the world with all its various investment opportunities – are they to find the assets which offer reasonable risk-adjusted returns, and which investment strategies and managers will offer them the solutions they are seeking? The solutions every investor needs to meet his/her unique investment objectives.

Building on the success of last year’s meeting, Institutional Investor is pleased to announce our 2nd Annual Strategic Asset Allocation Symposiums. These one-day events, one on June 21 in New York and the other on September 26 in San Francisco, are designed for investment decision-makers at pension funds, endowments, foundations, and selected family offices, RIA firms, and investment consultants who are looking for possible answers to those questions.

We hope to greet you in San Francisco on September 26.
