Long-Term Thinking in a Volatile World

In its third year, Pensions & Investments’ Public Funds Conference took place in Austin, hearing directly from your public pension peers on topics relating to asset allocation and plan governance. With dynamic session formats and educational content, this event provided attendees key insights into the most pressing topics facing allocators. In addition, prior to the conference, a select group of pension fund executives visited the offices of some of the largest funds in the US for a day of networking and learning as part of our US Pension Fund Tour.
