Where does Active Management Go From Here?

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 | 1:00PM - 1:50PM | Room: Salon 13-15  |   Education Session

Much has been made of the growth of passive investments over the past 20 years leading many IROs to ask if it is still critical to engage with active money managers to the same degree.  Despite this trend, many asset managers continue to lean into active strategies and believe that the opportunity set for active investments will continue to improve in the years to come.  

This panel will gather some of the largest and highest quality asset managers on the buyside and hear how their firms continue to evolve.  The space has seen a good amount of consolidation and change in recent years, and active money managers are adapting their strategies to meet client needs, are taking advantage of market opportunities, and continuing to find ways to compete in a competitive environment.  Underpinning their fundamental approach is a desire to foster greater corporate relationships and evolve the process by which this happens. 

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand active money management, where it is going, what challenges it faces, and why this matters to company IROs
  • Understand the various strategies that active money management employs and how these firms function internally
  • Hear tips on how to build better relationships with the buy side that can help inform targeting efforts and investor engagement
