Bonus Page: Morningstar Investment Conference Lineup
In addition to releasing the inaugural Retirement Plan Landscape Report, Morningstar this week also announced the agenda for its 2022 Morningstar Investment Conference, set for May 16-18 in Chicago.
The speaker lineup is highlighted by former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Mike McFaul and Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson. In the session, “Geopolitical Order Disrupted,” McFaul will talk about a forgotten source of uncertainty: global geopolitical risk.
Morningstar Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning Christine Benz will also be speaking, as will David Giroux, chief investment officer for equity and multi-asset, T. Rowe Price, and Karsten Jeske, chief economist, Valravn Capital.
Other featured speakers include Morningstar CEO Kunal Kapoor; Causeway Capital Management CEO Sarah Ketterer; game designer and author Jane McGonigal; University of Chicago economist and professor Raghuram Rajan; and Fidelity Institutional portfolio manager Sammy Simnegar.
Conference attendees will also hear from a panel of Morningstar equity and Sustainalytics analysts who will share their perspective on the outlook and ramifications of many companies’ commitments to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
New to the conference this year are eight 30-minute “idea sessions,” where financial professionals will explore hot topics in investing such as public policy with Morningstar’s Aron Szapiro, who co-authored the Retirement Plan Landscape Report.
“This year’s conference agenda presents another robust lineup of timely content for investors, from sustainable investing to digital currencies and geopolitical risk,” said Kunal Kapoor, chief executive officer at Morningstar. “These latest industry evolutions are arriving at a moment defined by investor engagement and opportunity.”
