Events
Partners Capital has held a number of events for our clients over the years.
Our biggest event is our Annual Investor Workshop which has attracted more and more attendees since we first held this in 2015. Rotating between London and New York, we typically seek to address the prevailing topics on the minds of investors.
2019 Annual Investor Workshop
We held our Annual Investor Workshop on Tuesday 15th October 2019 at the Park Hyatt, New York.
The 2019 Investor Workshop addressed the key investment themes and strategic priorities on our minds as we prepare for a prolonged period of lower global growth. Similar to past years, we presented our views on these topics alongside the views of pertinent experts in our network. Our external speakers addressed geopolitical risks, investing in China, life sciences opportunities and impact investing. The most senior members of our investment team described the challenges and opportunities across asset classes and the core investment policies that will create the most robust portfolios in the face of emerging macro-economic scenarios.
