Fragmentation to formation: Reshaping the investment world
Markets are adapting to a world of geopolitical fragmentation, shifting economic relationships and accelerating innovation. As investors reposition for what comes next, we ask where the risks and opportunities will emerge?
This year’s agenda will explore:
- Global trends reshaping markets and capital flows
- Commodities – beyond rare Earth mineral, are supply chains robust?
- Structural shifts creating new investment opportunities
- Investor behaviour – is it rational?
We're delighted to welcome this year’s keynote speakers to the stage:
- Monica Defend (Head of Amundi Investment Institute and Chief Strategist at Amundi) will explore how geopolitical change, evolving trade relationships and global capital flows are reshaping the investment landscape.
- Michael J. Mauboussin (Head of Consilient Research at Counterpoint Global, Morgan Stanley Investment Management) will examine investor behaviour, decision-making and the lessons markets continue to teach us.
