It was predicted that the major theme in currency management for this year would be the continuation of currency volatility and how pension funds should try to shield themselves from it. However, this year the major change is that currency volatility is driven by the government debt bubble instead of uncertainly in the markets.

This is a unique situation; markets are not reacting to the possibility of a default by the major debtors. Rather, they are reacting to the monetary tightening that is due to follow.

This year’s Global Pensions Currency Management Forum Toronto will take place on Thursday 11th March at the Four Seasons Hotel. The day will help investors discover how to deal with volatility but with an unprecedented set of drivers.

The forum will cover everything the institutional investor needs to know from overlay strategies, generating alpha, manager selection to the latest high level debate on where the industry is heading.

Delegates are exclusively invited by Global Pensions. Places are complimentary to those who qualify, but limited to 60 delegates and allocated on a first come first served basis. The day will give delegates the opportunity to:

  • Learn how to choose the right asset manager who will generate excess returns.
  • Find out how to extract beta returns from the FX market to enhance work.
  • Identify how to better track your foreign exchange costs more easily.
  • Explore the risks and successfully manage them for your currency alpha portfolio.
  • Discover how managers are meeting their investor’s clients’ demands to increase international allocation.
