CAIA India Education Webinar - Life Sciences - Early Stage Investments

Date : Saturday, 26th September, 2020
Time : 6:00 PM India Standard Time
Duration : 1 hour
 
If you are a large pension fund mandated to sustain the current outgo of liabilities, you have a huge responsibility on your shoulders. The expected return on US equity, if you are lucky, will most likely be a lower single digit. The expected return on developed market government bonds, including in the USA, the EU, Switzerland, Japan, etc will most likely fail to pay for asset management charges, let alone generate positive returns for you. The real return across many emerging countries are below zero. With the number of bankruptcy cases having increased to record high in the USA, and still counting, one never knows the fate of high yield papers. What is the way out? How do you meet your future goal in the post pandemic world?
 
In our quest to find answers to these questions lurking inside our intellect, we invite you to join us on September 26, 2020 at 6 PM India Standard Time to listen to this webinar with our guest speaker Sajal J. Heda, CEO & Founding Partner, Amana Global Partners.
