With the rise of ETFs and other passive investment vehicles, how has the role of the IRO had to adjust? Is what's important to active investors equally important to passive investors? What new strategies must you adopt to ensure your organization's value proposition reaches potential investors whether they're active or passive? How can you engage with these investors to understand how they will impact your shareholder vote? Join our guest speakers, Helen Beck, Senior Managing Director, Head of Equity Markets, CDPQ and Jay Aizanman, Strategic Advisor and Business Development, Desjardins Global Asset Management, to discover the answers to these questions and more at the CIRI IRO Roundtable followed by a Holiday Cocktail at Les Enfants Terribles. A perfect opportunity to participate in a lively discussion, reconnect with your CIRI colleagues and friends, make new connections, and raise a glass to the year ahead! This event is eligible for 2 CEUs.
We look forward to seeing you there!
