Toronto, Canada
All superannuation/pension funds share a common goal, to protect and grow retirement assets regardless of the challenges they face in both the DC and DB environments. At CIE we firmly believe that the future of the pension fund industry can be shaped through the creation of a global network aimed towards greater cooperation and communication. Moreover, that the ongoing progression of global best practice in investments, operations and strategy will be significantly enhanced through this network.
In light of the global sovereign debt crisis which has engulfed the world, cooperation at a global level is more important than ever as pension funds across the globe need to adapt to aging population and the upcoming wave of retiring baby boomers. The 2012 Superannuation and Pension Funds Summit will bring together a global network of institutional investors in search of solutions for some of the common challenges institutional investors face in today’s world of uncertainty and volatility.
The 2012 Summit will take place on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 March to coincide with the International Investing forum (25-30 March) and the location will be in North America with easy access to Washington, DC.
