| 09:00 | KEYNOTE SPEAKER Navigating emergent Geoeconomic, Demographic, Environmental and Technological Challenges Successfully For this speech, Sony Kapoor will draw on the interdisciplinary work he leads at the EUI as well as his work for the Indian and Brazilian G-20s to discuss the following. • The current state of institutional investment, particularly in the EU • The historical drivers of economic growth and financial profitability • The impact of environmental risks and opportunities globally • The impact of demographic shifts, globally and in the EU • The impact of fast paced technological changes • The risk from and impact of rising military and economic conflict and tensions • The impact of new trade, investment and geopolitical risks and opportunities Despite the dominance of often negative headlines on conflict, demographics and climate, and breathless optimism about technology, the reality is far more nuanced. But big changes are indeed afoot. Those who are well informed, nimble, and understand how the developments across energy, environment, economics, technology and geopolitics influence each other, and the risk and return landscape for institutional investors can emerge financially and institutionally stronger, even as others get left behind. The keynote will end with specific recommendations for institutional investors on how to get ahead of the game. Sony Kapoor, Interdisciplinary Professor of Climate, Geoeconomics, and Finance, European University Institute |

| 11:40 | The biggest mistakes in credit investing and how to avoid them • Credit investing is not homogeneous, and you need to clear on what you are solving for. For example: 1. Are investors making decisions on the basis of spread or yield? 2. Is the purpose of credit allocation within their portfolio primarily risk mitigation or is it return generation? • The answer to the question above will then drive the type of credit allocation – eg. global versus regional, benchmark relative or total return • In each case, investors need to use the right tool for the job Adam Whiteley, Head of Global Credit, Insight Investment |
