efined contribution plans have grown to become the primary retirement
D
vehicle that the majority of private sector workers will use to fund their
retirements. Rightly so, the overarching goal of “improving participant
outcomes” has become a major focus for both plan sponsors and service
providers. But what does this really mean? In this session, plans sponsors
will define in their own words the how they are managing the many facets
of their DC plans with the goal of participant success in mind. Don’t miss
this jargon-free session about the key factors that influence successful retirement outcomes and how your firm can articulate the value it can deliver to
plan sponsors and participants in this new outcome-focused environment.

Market cycles, new products and fads come and go. Equities
are in, then out of favor. Indeed, “shift happens.” Today, longonly equity strategies are under pressure from indexing and
alternative strategies. Where do the major allocators see funds
flowing in 2015 and beyond? Is it time for them to rethink their
allocations to indexing and alternatives? Is there still value to

Do you think you understand the emerging manager space?
Think again. Traditional industry definitions of what it means to
be an emerging manager have shifted. This has created
new opportunities for both traditional and
alternatives managers to participate in
institutional searches. During this session with
industry leaders, you will learn: the history of
this space; the primary users of emerging managers; the consultants and manager-of-managers
you need to be aware of; and how to position your
firm for success.

At last estimate, there are more than 3,000 family offices in
the U.S. managing more than $1.2 trillion in assets. While the
growth in the number of offices and assets under management
has been significant over the past decade, the family office
industry remains one of the most secretive groups of asset
allocators in the investment industry. What areas of the market
will family offices focus on? What fee and vehicle structures do
family offices most prefer? Who are the investment professionals
within family offices? As sales professionals, how can you shift
your marketing plan to succeed with these asset allocators? A
panel of family office, multi-family offices (MFO) professionals,
and sales professionals with experience navigating the family
office industry will explore these questions so you may learn,
adapt and ultimately succeed in the family office segment.

On the Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership
Imagine yourself on the highest mountain in the world. You have to deal
with the physiological effects of extreme altitude--along with bone-chilling
temperatures, battering winds, and a climbing team that’s counting on
all of its members to make smart decisions. There’s simply no room for
poor judgment –- one mistake or misstep can result in an “unrecoverable
error.” In any situation where lives on are the line or the stakes are
exceptionally high there’s no better training ground for leaders than
settings where people are pushed beyond their perceived limits. Drawing
on her experience as team captain of the first American Women’s Everest
Expedition, Alison Levine makes a compelling case that the leadership
principles that apply in the world of extreme adventure also apply to
today’s rigorously competitive business environments.

In 2014, CalPERS, the largest US public pension plan,
announced that it was dropping hedge funds from its portfolio.
Dutch pension PMT made a similar announcement. What does
the future hold for alternatives? Has there been a paradigm
shift in how investors view alternatives? Is the alternative world
becoming more traditional with the ascendancy of ’40 Act and
UCITS liquid alternatives structures? How will the regulatory
environment continue to change and evolve? Which strategies will outperform? Will this list of questions ever end? Yes!
During this session we will not just be asking questions, we
will also provide the answers so you can learn, adapt, and succeed in marketing alternatives.

The consultant roundtables are always one of our most popular
sessions and well worth the price of admission. Get ready to roll up
your sleeves, ask questions and listen, learn, and adapt as top consultants share their firm’s priorities, manager search activity, organizational updates, and how best to communicate with research and
field consultants. Best of all you don’t have to travel by planes, trains
or automobiles to get these consultant meetings. You don’t even have
to get out of your chair. We bring the consultants to you and every
ten minutes the consultants will SHIFT from table to table just to sit
down and meet with you. We intentionally keep each session small
and intimate to encourage candid conversations where your most
pressing questions will be answered.
