EDUCATION SESSION #1054
Annual Portfolio Manager Panel: Dive into New Portfolio Strategies
Start thinking now about 2020's investment strategies. Learn how current shifting economic trends, the upcoming presidential election and accompanying volatile market conditions will affect specific market sectors and asset classes. Consider how adjustments made by investors in global economies and their concerns about environmental, social and governance issues (ESG) will impact the US and global markets.

Share these new perspectives as you network with friends and colleagues over drinks, as you approach the holiday season and the end of what has been a memorable year.
