Theme: From Innovation to Adaptation — Building a Future‑Focused Portfolio
Over the past few years, asset owners have weathered significant challenges including a global pandemic, rising interest rates, and the steady upward march of inflation. As some of these initial shocks morph into longer‑term trends, asset owners are adapting to a different set of economic and market conditions than they’ve seen in the past.
The 2023 International Best Practices Forum will explore the innovative approaches Canadian asset owners are using to adapt to this shifting world while highlighting case studies from their international peers. From sustainable infrastructure, to portfolio construction, to emerging markets, how are asset owners building future‑focused portfolios?

Everything Everywhere All at Once
A simultaneous drop in stock and bond prices, war, supply chain disruptions and a seeming reversal of the globalization shift that has dominated the last 20 years of investing. It’s as if every area of the investment landscape has undergone a critical shift at once — a shift that has created challenges and new opportunities for asset owners able to stay a step ahead.
This year’s Challenge of Change delves into what could be called another “New Normal” and its impact on asset management, portfolio construction and the decisions facing Canadian asset owners.

Future Plans: Innovative Solutions for Meeting Members’ Shifting Needs
The relationship between Canadian employers and employees is at an inflection point. As we come out of the COVID‑19 pandemic, efforts to reinstitute traditional workplace practices have been met with resistance from professionals at various stages of their careers. The war for talent has taken an unconventional turn.
Human Resource and Finance professionals have a central role to play in this evolving dynamic. As they work to develop total compensation strategies that set their employer brand apart, creative ideas and innovative solutions can help to enhance DC plans and ensure that they are part of what reinvigorates the employer‑employee relationship moving forward.
