Events
Events agenda 2020
After careful consideration and an abundance of caution about the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), we have decided to postpone all Institute events for the time being. We have made this decision to put the health of our members, valued guests and colleagues first, and to minimise their risk of exposure to the virus.
We will be back in touch with you via email and update details on this page once we have the new plans in place.

The power of culture
Following more in-depth research into effective culture in investment organisations we are now launching a global peer study of asset managers and asset owners keen to understand their own cultural signature and leadership footprints, where they sit on a spectrum and how they could sharpen their edge. In addition to developing their own better cultural outcomes, participants will be signing up to support more wide-spread positive cultural change.
