Monetary Policy and Politics To Intersect at 2016 FactSet Investment Process Symposium
October 06 2016 - 09:24AM
One week following the U.S. presidential election, investment
professionals from North America will gather at the FactSet 2016
Investment Process Symposium in Southampton, Bermuda. Keynote
speakers are acclaimed economists Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winning
professor and editorial columnist for the New York Times and Glenn
Hubbard, dean and professor and former chairman of the U.S. Council
of Economic Advisers under the 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush.
The intersection of monetary policy and politics will be top of
mind in a Symposium agenda that also places emphasis on the shifts
in investment strategies from active to passive, as well as the
incorporation of multi-asset classes, Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) factors, and regulations. As a leading financial
technology provider of analytics, insight and information, FactSet
hosts these annual gatherings to help investment professionals gain
knowledge on all aspects of the investment process, including
principles, processes, technology and regulation. “Given that our
Symposium occurs so soon after the U.S. elections, it will provide
an ideal forum for gauging the impact on the financial markets and
discussing strategies for responding to ongoing market
uncertainty,” said Brenda Tsai, Global Head of Marketing, FactSet.
“Paul Krugman and Glenn Hubbard share backgrounds in economics but
their differing views on politics and policy will no doubt spark
conversations amongst our attendees.”
Following are a sampling of the sessions and workshops that will
be held at the three-day symposium:
