Technology and AI Summit in collaboration with MSCI

In-person | Tuesday 6 October | Two sessions

This October, we are hosting an exclusive event to unveil the insights from our Global Asset Owner Technology & AI Peer Study 2026, conducted in collaboration with MSCI Institute.

This study explores current and future technology practices among global asset owners. The focus is on technology strategies and AI including the relationships to governance, investment models and organisational design. It will develop a peer-based, system-level understanding of how global asset owners are integrating technology and AI across people, process and governance to strengthen total-portfolio outcomes.

The first session will be a closed-door session for study participants, enabling in-depth discussion, reflection and peer exchange on the study findings.

Session 2 – members and special guests, Tuesday 6 October 14.00-18.30
