Global Capital Markets Advisory Council Roundtable (Invite only)

-

Representing over $28 trillion in assets under management, the Global Capital Markets Advisory Council (GCMAC) will gather for its annual meeting in the MEA region, an opportunity to exchange ideas and break down silos between investors from pension plans, endowments and foundations, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and single-family offices. Drawing on collective knowledge, CIOs and CEOs from around the world will consider the most effective ways to address their portfolio while navigating the changing macroeconomic landscape. Where are asset owners seeing the most compelling investment opportunities? Is increasing deglobalization shifting allocators’ approaches to global diversification? How are investors adjusting their portfolios to balance risk and liquidity, especially amidst changes in inflation, interest rates, and tariffs?
