The current bearish economy has brought forth many additional challenges for the endowment, foundation and pension fund communities to go along with the previously existing issues.

It’s against this backdrop that Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2008 Investment Forum for Endowments, Foundations and Pension Funds, which will take place in Manhattan. The event will bring together approximately 135-150 senior investment professionals from the endowment, foundation, and family office community, as well as the CEOs and Board members of public and private large cap and mid cap corporations. The forum will address a number of topics including, but not limited to: global pension governance, asset and style allocation from a foundation perspective, the next wave in effective green investments, and taking a long term view in a short term world from an endowment perspective.

Please note that the limited seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors. Participation by partnership organizations (advisory firms, vendors, etc) is limited to clients of Argyle Executive Forum. Argyle meetings are by invitation only.
