The current downturned 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 2009 Investment Forum for Endowments, Foundations and Pension Funds, which will take place in Los Angeles. The event will bring together approximately 80-100 senior investment professionals from the endowment, foundation, and pension fund community, as well as the CEOs and Board members of public and private large cap and mid cap corporations, and select advisors. The forum will address a number of topics including, but not limited to: trends in alternative investing, an examination of 130-30 strategy, an examination of global pension governance, and the implications of portfolio construction if there was no alpha.

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.
