The 2nd Annual West Coast Sub-Advisory Roundtable will be 2018’s second event in Institutional Investor’s newly launched Sub-Advisory Institute - 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 event 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.
The 2018 preliminary agenda is currently being developed with the latest trends and most actionable insights in the sub-advisory space. We will keep you updated with the latest agenda as we approach the event.
