Tom Brigandi and the [organizers behind the] Asset Owner Series should be very proud of what’s being accomplished there. You’re genuinely leading the global community.80 years later, you’re still innovating and you’re still leading the way, so please keep those ideas flowing.

Delivering opening remarks at CFANY’s 80th Anniversary Annual Dinner, CFA Institute CEO Paul Smith had this to say about his Summit experience:

"Tom Brigandi and the [organizers behind the] Asset Owner Series should be very proud of what’s being accomplished there. You’re genuinely leading the global community, and I was very lucky to appear at the Pension Fund symposium you hosted at your facility where you had many trillions of dollars of assets in the room."

The Asset Owner Series™ was created by CFA Society New York in 2015 and spearheaded by Thomas Brigandi—CFA Institute’s Inaugural Global Outstanding Young Leader—in collaboration with a team of over 300 industry leaders globally who source speakers from their respective networks. The groundbreaking series is a collection of exclusive events for investment industry executives looking to improve their asset-management strategies and advance their market knowledge with the guidance of some of the most experienced minds CFA Society New York has to offer.

As of September 19th 2017, the Asset Owner Series™ has featured chief investment officers, deputy chief investment officers and other C-Level investment executives from sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, single family offices, multi-family offices, endowments & foundations, private banks, national pensions, corporate pensions, institutional investment consultants, public pensions and union pensions that collectively oversee in excess of $35 trillion in assets under management or advisory. That estimated figure accounts for approximately one-third of total global institutional assets.

CFA Society New York is working in partnership with over 25 member Societies across APAC, the Americas and EMEA, on the CFA Institute-supported Global Asset Owner Series. The CFA Institute is very supportive of the Global Asset Owner Series given this is the first member Society driven global coordinated effort, with the goal of hosting C-Level institutional investors who collectively and directly oversee $100 trillion in assets under management or advisory, or an additional $65 trillion in AUM to supplement the existing $35 trillion that has been hosted to date. 

According to CFANY CEO Daniel Dagen:

"As a not-for-profit, our primary goal is to raise the standards of professionalism in the industry. We were honored to have leading decision-makers from all six populated continents join us, despite the numerous conferences being held around the city.  This demand from investors who face differing regulatory and political challenges across diverse regions, to meet in a non-commercial peer to peer environment, continues to provide evidence that our forum fills a much-needed gap."

"These candid conversations among fiduciaries are enlightening for investment managers and asset owners alike. Anyone desiring to improve the value of what they deliver professionally gains insight from the perspectives of these speakers and their fellow attendees. When senior decision makers from around the world—entrusted by their governments with the serious responsibility of maintaining the financial security of their citizens—feel safe to show up to engage with our community, we know we still have a vital role to play.  It inspires us to further shape the global conversation about professionalism in the industry itself."

--

CFA Society New York is a leading voice within a network of CFA Societies in 150 countries, representing over 145,000 CFA Institute members worldwide. CFANY works in conjunction with CFA Institute to develop the industry’s future professionals and collaborate with industry leaders to raise the standards of professionalism in the investment management industry.
