Special Keynote | Canada's Expert Panel Report on Sustainable Finance: What's In It For Asset Owners?
Date & Time

Description
This special keynote will be of immense and necessary value to every pension fund in Canada — because the future investment portfolios of every single one of them will be affected by it.
 
In April 2018, the Government of Canada announced the formation of the Expert Panel on Sustainable Finance to consult with Canada’s financial market participants on issues related to sustainable finance. The panel released its final report on June 14, 2019. These findings will significantly impact the investment decisions of every pension plan in Canada.  In this interactive keynote, hear from two of the four members of that panel.  They are, as Pension Pulse has noted, two of the most powerful women in Canada’s pension field in an elite club dominated by men.  This is a not-to-be-missed special keynote!
