Discussion forums 2025

Virtual

Thought provoking and made me think about things I have not thought on that way before.

In 2025, we hosted a series of forums designed to give our members opportunities to connect and engage on key topics relevant to the investment industry and their organisations.

  • How do you manage risk in an increasingly short-term word?
  • Will AI replace human investment decision-making?
  • Has diversification lost its edge?

To accommodate different time zones, each forum ran twice. The topics covered were:
27 March: Risk 2.0 | managing long-term risks in a short-term world
12 June: AI | the risks and opportunities
4 September: Liquid Diversifiers
2 October: What does “3D investing” actually mean in practice?
6 November: Expectations for COP30 and net-zero investing

You can view the previous forum reading notes here. (members only)

We’ll be running these forums again in 2026. If you’d like to register your interest in joining, you have other questions are a higher priority for you or if you’d like to present on a topic, please get in touch.
