LOOKING THROUGH THE NOISE: IDENTIFYING TOMORROW’S SIGNALSIn this stimulating and entertaining talk, Dr. Mansharamani will help shed light on the underlying drivers of populism and rising protectionism as well as provide us a roadmap of how the future may unfold. He will then connect the dots to implications of his views to asset allocation decisions and long-term investing in the face of today’s many cross-currents. This session will discuss 1) What is going on with the U.S. and China; 2) Are we having a recession…when, where and how? 3) Inflation/deflation (rates, bond market, central bank policy). Dr. Mansharamani is a global trend-watcher who shows people how to anticipate the future, manage risk, and spot opportunities. He first gained widespread attention with the release of his first book, Boombustology, which provided a framework for spotting bubbles BEFORE they burst. His newest book is now available for pre-order on Amazon titled, Think for Yourself: Restoring Common Sense in an Age of Experts and Artificial Intelligence. He’s a columnist for the PBS Newshour and a regular contributor to Worth Magazine. The 500 million member Linkedin network listed him as the #1 Top Voice for Money, Finance and Economics for both 2015 and 2016 and Worth Magazine profiled him as one of the 100 Most Powerful People in Global Finance. In addition, he is currently a lecturer at Harvard University, and has also taught classes at Yale University on business ethics and governance, financial bubbles, and economic inequality.Keynote: VIKRAM MANSHARAMANI, PH.D., GLOBAL TREND-WATCHER, HARVARD UNIVERSITY LECTURER, PORTFOLIO MANAGER & AUTHOR, THINK FOR YOURSELF: RESTORING COMMON SENSE IN AN AGE OF EXPERTS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & BOOMBUSTOLOGY: SPOTTING FINANCIAL BUBBLES BEFORE THEY BURST

THE OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES OF INVESTING IN ASIAWhat is the importance of Asia over the next decade? Why should investors be serious about investing in Asia? Asia is a high growth region, but growth doesn’t equal return so how do investors capture returns in the region? What are the pitfalls seen in Asia and how can they be avoided? What are the nuances between the different markets? How are investors able to navigate these challenges and actually succeed? Our expert panelists will leave the audience with some interesting and actionable ideas.Moderator: ANDREW C.

BUILDING & IMPLEMENTING A GOOD GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE: LESSONS LEARNEDThis panel of seasoned fiduciaries will have an open dialogue with one another on stage surrounding the issues of good governance within their organizations. Keeping consistency in your approach to governance is always key as is the decision making process. How do you prepare for your committee meetings? How do you work with your committee members? What is the relationship like between your internal staff and the committee? How do you keep the committee focused on the right issues? What does Governance mean to a manager and what are the overall challenges? Our panelists will give real examples drawing from their knowledge and experience working with boards, and how their board structure worked for them as well as challenges they may have encountered along the way. This panel will also focus on sharing some “war stories” on how they have worked with their boards and committees and how they have recovered, fixed issues and learned ways to avoid these challenges in the future. Panelists will also discuss what it was like for them when leaving one organization and starting fresh in a brand new institution. What were the benefits of starting over? This discussion will be co-facilitated by two former CIOs who both have decades of experience leading Emory University and Case Western Reserve University. Our panel of experts will come from different types of organizations bringing an LP, GP and a consultant together to discuss this very important topic facing our industry. This panel hopes to draw out conversations of both the behavioral dynamics and the investment policy that together provide the foundation for achieving investment objectives.Co-Facilitators: MARY CAHILL, PRESIDENT, RIVINGTON CAPITAL & INVESTMENT COMMITTEE, THE WOODRUFF ARTS CENTER, COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR GREATER ATLANTA, ZEIST FOUNDATION & FORMER CIO, EMORY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT (EMORY UNIV.)SALLY STALEY, TRUSTEE & CHAIR OF INVESTMENT COMMITTEE, THE COLLEGE OF WOOSTER & FORMER CIO, CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITYPanelists: DAVID GILMORE, MANAGING DIRECTOR, THE HARRY AND JEANETTE WEINBERG FOUNDATIONBETH JOHNSON, PARTNER; US SEGMENT LEADER FOR FAMILY OFFICES & SENIOR CONSULTANT, PAVILION, A MERCER PRACTICEDAVID THOMAS, FOUNDER & CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, ATALAN CAPITAL PARTNERS

ACTIVE INVESTING OPPORTUNITIES IN SMALL CAP STOCKSThis will be a panel of active and passive portfolio managers in the small capitalization equity asset class. The interactive discussion will focus on the underperformance of small cap stocks, particularly small cap value stocks, and the associated opportunities and hurdles facing portfolio managers over the next five years. This panel seeks to understand and answer the questions surrounding recent underperformance, the catalyst for future outperformance and the drivers of small cap stocks going forward. Of particular interest will be the discussion regarding the impact of computerized trading and ETFs on investing in this asset class. Daniele Donahoe, CFA will moderate the panel bringing insights from her experience as a sell-side equity analyst and small cap growth portfolio manager with Columbia Management.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE SECOND WAVE OF THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION?In the brief time since the new millennium began, we have experienced the transformative power of the first wave of the Digital Revolution as the Internet has literally changed all the rules for how the world works. Now we find ourselves on the threshold of a second wave that will be fueled by not one, but two engines, resulting in more change in the next decade than we have seen in the past twenty-five years. Discover how the Internet of Things and Blockchain technology will produce new capabilities for improving the quality of life by expanding social collaboration, preventing illness and accidents, spawning new business and product models, generating new ways to create and distribute wealth, and ending the threats of hacking and fraud. Rod Collins shows business leaders how they can ready themselves to leverage the powerful new capabilities of the second wave of the digital revolution to lead organizations that can change as fast as the world around them. Rod will leave time for a 10-minute Q&A following his presentation for TII members to ask questions.ROD COLLINS, DIRECTOR OF INNOVATION, OPTIMITY ADVISORS & AUTHOR OF WIKI MANAGEMENT – A REVOLUTIONARY NEW MODEL FOR A RAPIDLY CHANGING AND COLLABORATIVE WORLD

ABOUT THE INVESTMENT INSTITUTE
The Investment Institute (TII) provides educational forums that inspire a culture of collaboration and community among institutional investors, family offices, consultants and asset managers. Our forum content is developed with guidance from our Editorial Committee and our community consists of chief investment officers and investment team members from endowments, foundations, hospitals/healthcare, insurance companies, non-profits, corporate and public pensions and family offices as well as consultants, emerging managers, outsourced CIOs, fund of funds, hedge funds, private equity, real estate, venture capital, traditional, fixed income and other asset management firms. We have worked hard at The Investment Institute to build an organization that provides our members a relaxed, comfortable, friendly, and non-sales type of atmosphere, fostering an environment to learn and connect with one another in a way that promotes lifelong relationships, trust and friendships.
Our distinguished Editorial Committee, which reflects a cross section of various types of sophisticated institutional and private investors, engage with TII to set the direction and develop the cutting-edge timely topics and themes for all of our forums. It is with their guidance that we develop new and innovative ideas to educate our members. The Editorial Committee assists TII in the recruitment of speakers, drives the content by selecting topics, and also acts as an informal advisory board and strategic resource. It is our goal to keep our investment community abreast of industry practices on a “real-time” basis at each of our programs and to sharpen the understanding of critical factors impacting both long and short-term investment ideas leading to better investment returns. TII features some of the most well-known and leading money managers, policy makers, economists, research strategists and business leadership gurus along with some of the most prominent institutional and private investors. The programs cover complex issues surrounding the financial industry and the speaker faculty analyzes risk while revealing many opportunities in the current market environment.
We have been very fortunate to cultivate our community mostly through referrals but we also very much welcome the opportunity to meet others who may be interested in expanding their own educational and networking opportunities by attending our meetings. You can learn more about us by visiting our website or by contacting Andrea Szigethy or Donna Holly directly.
VIKRAM MANSHARAMANI HAS A NEW BOOK!VISIT AMAZON TO PRE-ORDER A COPY TODAY
Harvard lecturer and global trend watcher Vikram Mansharamani shows in this eye-opening and perspective-shifting book, our complex, data-flooded world has made us ever more reliant on experts, protocols, and technology. We’ve stopped thinking for ourselves. (Have you ever followed your GPS device to a deserted parking lot?) With stark and compelling examples drawn from business, sports, and everyday life, the author illustrates how in a very real sense we have outsourced too much of our thinking, relinquishing our autonomy.
Think for Yourself is an indispensable guide for those looking to restore self-reliant thinking in a data-driven and technology-dependent yet overwhelmingly uncertain world.
