We were pleased to host the inaugural
CONNECTIVITY: Exploring the White Space
conference in Chicago on October 17-18.
As industries evolve and markets transform, it is essential to reach beyond traditional investment analysis and think about the white space between asset classes, sectors, geographic regions, and investment teams. Our inaugural CONNECTIVITY client conference featured outside thought leaders who are exploring this white space.
During this year’s conference we launched a poll to gather attendees’ feedback on important issues. We presented a series of five questions to the attendees and captured the results in real time to get a snapshot into important issues facing our clients today.
