Marquette Speaking at AIMSE 2022 Fall Conference 9/27-9/28

August 25, 2022

On September 27th and 28th, Kweku Obed, CFA, CAIA and Brett Graffy, CAIA will be speaking at the Association of Investment Management Sales Executives’ (AIMSE) 2022 Fall Conference, “Riding the Winds of Change,” in Chicago.

Brett will be participating in a panel on the 27th entitled, “Alternative Investments: The Path Forward,” addressing the evolution of the alternatives market. Record investor appetite is being served an ever-expanding menu of options across private equity, credit, infrastructure, and real estate. In today’s market environment, how are allocators building their alternatives portfolios for future growth? Which strategies are consultants recommending and why? What innovative fund structures and strategies are managers and consultants offering to meet client needs? 

Kweku will be speaking in two sessions. The first, on September 27th, is a panel entitled, “Trends and State of Traditional Investments.” Looming macro factors may be influencing investment in and implementation of traditional asset strategies. With inflation at levels we haven’t seen in decades, rising interest rates, war in Europe, and a possible global recession looming, what are the issues being discussed? He will also be participating in the Consultant Roundtable portion of the event on the 28th.

The AIMSE seeks to provide an educational forum for those employed in the investment management sales and marketing services profession worldwide. For more information, please visit the event webpage.
