Markets Group: Greenwich Economic Forum To Convene Finance, Investor And Public Officials To Discuss Pressing Economic Issues

Industry Leaders Including Ray Dalio, Afsaneh Beschloss, Paul Tudor Jones and Dmitry Balyasny to Headline Inaugural Event

GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 300 finance, public policy experts,  and institutional investors will convene at the inaugural Greenwich Economic Forum in Greenwich, Conn., on November 15-16, 2018 to discuss the biggest opportunities and challenges facing global markets, public and private investments, pension plans, institutional investors, and the wider economy. Conversations will be led by investment industry luminaries including Ray Dalio, Afsaneh Beschloss, Paul Tudor Jones, and Dmitry Balyasny, with the aim of developing innovative solutions for some of these global challenges.

The Forum is being organized by the Connecticut Hedge Fund Association (CTHFA) and the Greenwich Business Institute (GBI), under the auspices of Greenwich First Selectman Peter J. Tesei's Economic Advisory Committee. Topics to be addressed include the global pension crisis, the latest private market and venture capital investment strategies, the opening of China’s financial markets, the likely impact of global trade wars, lessons learned from the ten-year-old global financial crisis, and other key topics.

"The investment industry has some of the brightest minds in the world, but as the current economic cycle comes to a close, new issues are challenging conventional solutions," said CTHFA President and GBI Co-Chair Bruce McGuire. "In these uncertain times, it's imperative we bring together our leaders and public policy experts to examine these emerging issues and innovate for the future."

"While a lot of industry events provide short-term trading and economic forecasts, few adequately address long-term potential solutions that global industry participants, regulators, and other stakeholders can advance together," said GBI Co-Chair Jim Aiello. "We and CTHFA identified this intellectual void and saw a need to design a new event that will not only discuss where the economy is headed, but also go a step further by starting conversations to help address some of the main issues the retirement and investment industry and the global economy are grappling with today." 

Managers and investors in hedge funds, private equity, real estate and venture capital will share their best practices and current thinking at the Forum. Furthermore, there will be a sizeable contingent of institutional investors present, including those from Asia, Europe, the Middle East as well as North America.

Greenwich First Selectman Peter J. Tesei added: "Greenwich is one of the world's leading financial hubs and the Forum is a new and innovative initiative that brings hundreds of global thought leaders together. We are excited to lead these efforts and partner with CTHFA and GBI to bring the Forum to fruition."

Regularly ranked in the 100 best places to live in the United States, the town is a premier residential community offering a quality of life that is unmatched.
