L'AGEFI Day: Indexing, ETF & Smart Beta Summit

Presentation

L’AGEFI Day: Indexing, ETF & Smart Beta Summit is a unique opportunity to gain deep insight in the latest techniques and trends that are reshaping the investment management industry.

The conference is dedicated to institutional investors, multi-managers, private bankers and family officers and will focus on the key aspects of modern investment approaches including indexing, single and multi-factor portfolios and smart beta solutions.

The aim is to help delegates to better understand the details of how modern benchmarks are built and how they should be analysed and used.

The conference will also offer unique insight into the investment vehicles providing access to those benchmarks, and shed light on how you can select the most efficient funds available on the market to benefit from the liquidity offered by secondary markets through listed ETFs.
