Institutional investors have taken a hit over the last year, with university endowments and pension funds seeing their assets drastically reduced. Risk management and due diligence have subsequently gained in importance as concerns about the safety of assets have made investors more cautious. New approaches to asset allocation strategies and concerns over maintaining liquidity have also come to the fore. Hear from investors at leading Endowments, Foundations and Pension Funds talk about their outlook on the coming year and how they are navigating these issues and managing their investments.

On March 18th Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2010 Investment Forum for Endowments, Foundations and Pension Funds, which will take place in Los Angeles. The event brings together a select group of 80-100 senior investment officers from the endowments, foundations, and pension funds, as well as the CEOs and Board members of public and private large cap and mid cap corporations and select advisors.

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.
