The Tenth Public Investors Conference

In recent years, the global economy has undergone significant structural upheaval, characterised by persistently higher-than-target inflation in certain economies, geopolitical realignments, financial fragmentation, fiscal concerns in different regions, and asset price appreciation driven by investments in artificial intelligence. This evolving landscape is reshaping priorities for both economic stakeholders and investors, and has significantly altered the correlation dynamics of asset returns, placing, in particular, public investors under pressure to adapt their practices to meet the demands of this ever-changing world. Simultaneously, the mounting impacts of climate change have prompted investors to continue exploring ways of incorporating sustainability considerations into their strategies, while also delving into emerging areas such as adaptation finance. Public investment managers must navigate these challenges while enhancing their practices in response to rapid advancements in artificial intelligence. This development could significantly influence their trading practices, information consumption, strategic asset allocation, risk management methodologies, and resource allocation.
