About

Sub-Advisory Institute has made the decision to pivot our 2020 East Coast and West Coast Roundtables virtually this fall. Sessions will include audience polling, brief presentations from a select group of sub-advisors, breakout discussion groups, and gatekeeper-moderated Q&A.

ESG & Impacting Investing: State of Play: 11:30 AM -1:30 PM (EST) | Oct 6, 2020

Before Covid-19, environmental, social and governance investing had already made inroads into reshaping the investment landscape. Many investors, advisors, and asset managers now believe ESG will benefit from the coronavirus-induced economic fallout.

Is ESG proving to be a suitable risk management tool?


The Rise of Thematic Investment Strategies: 11:30 AM -1:30 PM (EST) | Oct 7, 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has triggered structural changes to our daily lives. Will these be long-lasting? If so, what will be the impact on pre-existing trends? Undoubtedly, some trends will reverse, and others will strengthen. When a vaccine, effective therapeutics, or a combination of both, allow a return to normalcy, which themes will stick, and which regions will benefit? Which disruptive growth opportunities should investors be pursuing around the globe right now, and why?

About The Sub-Advisory Institute

The Sub-Advisory Institute is a private membership organization for buyers of sub-advisory services and manager research, selection & oversight executives representing mutual fund companies, OCIOs, insurance firms, retirement platforms, and other asset managers which out-source. Through expert-led panel discussions, presentations, guest speakers and live market research, each of our two annual events will bring together leading participants in the sub-advisory landscape to assess how the investment objectives of institutions are changing and how firms that offer sub-advised strategies can respond to these needs.
