Geoeconomics, Risk, Resilience, and the Future: Navigating Global Shifts in Institutional Investing (Invite only)

Persistent inflation, intergenerational inequalities, and influential populist policies are reshaping the macro investment environment. Global headline inflation is lower than its 2022 peak, but asset owners still face broad challenges, as stubborn services inflation and policy uncertainty complicate valuations and the ability to meet real return targets and long-term liabilities. Intergenerational pressures in developed markets—seen in youth employment gaps, uneven social mobility, and growing reliance on family means for home ownership—intensify affordability concerns, particularly for Gen Z. Such dynamics intersect with populist policy agendas emphasizing protectionist trade measures, tighter migration controls, stricter investment screening, and shifts in tax and regulatory frameworks. This session will help asset owners clarify and implement inflation stress testing, scenario planning for policy-driven fragmentation, and strategies to anticipate redistribution cycles linked to communal pressures.
