AIMA Canada's Fourth Annual Investor Forum returns to Toronto on October 29 - 30, 2018. This flagship forum brings together over 300 allocators, investment managers and other industry participants to debate asset allocation models, discuss the latest investment trends and debut new research.
The ACIF is a unique AIMA event that brings together equal portions of investors, managers and service providers from across Canada and the world. In 2017, nearly 300 participants including over 90 global investors convened in Montreal to discuss asset allocation models, debate due diligence trends and debut new research.
In 2018, we are returning with an all new agenda touching on some of the industry’s most pressing concerns and highlighting new innovation brought about by technology and investor demands.
We are delighted to announce that we will be bringing back for the 2018 Forum 'one-on-one' sessions. Participants are provided with several pre-scheduled 20-minute match making sessions throughout the day to discuss their companies and services.
