― Overview

Our 2017 «GEM Investor: Helsinki» lunch will address key issues of the day for allocators to EM, addressing both macro issues as well as diving into EM equity and fixed income.

The discussion will be led by contributions from Erkko Ryynänen (CIO, OP Pension & Insurance), who will take an asset allocation perspective to the state of global growth markets, and Ewan Markson-Brown (Investment Manager, Baillie Gifford), with the EM equity team and an Asia specialist.  

The format is "interactive roundtable", where following an initial moderated conversation with the anchor speakers it will be opened for participants to ask questions and express a view of their own as well.

This event is by-invitation and for the institutional investor community. If you would like to attend and have not received a personal invitation, please contact us here.
