Investing
One Of The Most Highly Acclaimed Economists
Of Our Time
Ken Rogoff, drawing on the theme of his highly
acclaimed book, “This Time Is Different,” “quite
simply the best empirical investigation of financial
crises ever published,”
(Niall Ferguson,) will open the event examining what
went wrong in our most recent crisis to illuminate
our understanding of current market volatility and
provide a roadmap of how things are likely to pan
out in the years to come. The fiscal sustainability
of the developed world, how fiscal imbalances will
unwind and unfold, the risks of global inflation,
the outlook for global productivity growth and the
primacy of the dollar going forward; all these issues
and more will be examined by one of the true sages
of today’s financial markets.
The Global Macro Debate - Inflation Or Deflation?
Never, in modern times, has the disparity between
forecasts of inflation or deflation been wider. The
eventual outcome of these competing forces will
drive the performance of multiple asset classes,
globally. It is of paramount importance for asset
allocators to base their investment decisions on
a correct evaluation of this issue or they run the
risk of compromised investment decision making
regardless of the asset class they might select.
Two prominent figures in this debate, Kevin
Harrington, Managing Director, CLARIUM
Best of Breed Hedge Fund Managers
and Investors at The Investor
Summit, October 20th, 2010
Clear Direction From Leading Investors And
Global Macro Hedge Funds On How To Manage
The Risk And Profit From Global Dislocations
To help answer the question, “as an investor, what
can I do or what should I do to position my portfolio
to successfully ride out and profit from these
disruptive events?” we have assembled only the
most experienced investors in global macro at the
special “Investor Summit,” on October 20th.
CAPITAL and Paolo Pellegrini, President, PSQR
MANAGEMENT LLC (invited), will share the rationale
behind their current positions, clarifying the key
issues in this investment dichotomy.
The Geopolitical Keynote Address
The international financial crisis is remaking
the geopolitical landscape, generating risks and
opportunities for global markets from unexpected
directions. Where are market-moving threats to
stability most likely to emerge? What are their
most serious implications for companies, investors,
and policymakers? How is the global economic
meltdown shifting the balance of international
political and economic power? In the geopolitical
address
David F. Gordon, Head of Research, Director,
Global Macro Analysis, EURASIA GROUP, formerly
director of policy planning under Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, will illustrate the rise of state
capitalism and details its long-term challenge to
relations among nations and the future of the global
economy.
Plus in the “the Legends of Macro” interview
Jeff Feig, Managing Director & Global Head of
Foreign Exchange, CITI will interview Michael
Novogratz, Principal & Director, FORTRESS
INVESTMENT GROUP
And these are just some of the highlights from the
landmark event taking place on October 18th-19th.
To ensure the most candid discussions and protect
the confidentiality of all attendees the event will be
closed to reporting press, and no recordings of the
event will be released after the event, so the only
way to hear from the outstanding faculty is to be
there in person.
Experienced investors will discuss in detail their
different approaches to constructing a global macro
portfolio and you will benefit from hearing directly
from the most illustrious line ups of independently
selected hedge funds, handpicked for their
outstanding performance and willingness to educate
investors on the key opportunities as well as
challenges of investing in this dynamic space.
As well as presenting the case for the inclusion of
macro in an investor’s portfolio, the summit will
focus on the practical ways in which an investor
can construct a macro portfolio, gain diversification,
evaluate managers, discern alpha and evaluate risk.
Global Macro Investing & Geopolitical Risk Forum is a unique think-tank, bringing together the world’s most
progressive minds to debate, discuss and offer fresh intelligence on the key fiscal, monetary, geopolitical,
policy and economic issues informing the success of your every investment decision.
