Forecasting asset class returns is difficult at best of times. Acceptance that the shifting investment landscape (higher rates, inflation and geopolitical risk) and adapting to a lower carbon world could have implications for many years. Join William da Silva (Aon) and Peter Muldowney (Connor, Clark & Lunn Financial Group (CC&L)) to discuss the implications of such macro themes for forecasting and modelling future returns and risks and how this ultimately is reflected in asset allocator’s strategic asset mix shifts.



At PIAC, we are proud to advocate for fair and equitable/adequate representation of women in pensions. Our advocacy on Governance has promoted the effective disclosure of governance composition to encourage the increased participation of women in positions of pension leadership. We firmly believe that diverse and inclusive leadership is essential for driving innovation, creativity, and sustainable growth. And the representation of women within our organization reflects a commitment to inclusivity and gender diversity. 43% of PIAC membership is comprised of women, and this figure continues to grow. Proudly, for the past two decades, approximately 50% of our Board Chairs have been women. As PIAC marks International Women's Day, we reaffirm our dedication to the promotion of women and gender equality in the pension sector.
