Description:
CAIA Korea would like to invite you joining our first in-person event this year - CAIA Korea Lunch Seminar - A Discussion of the Maple Model on Thursday, September 1, 2022.

Just as the Yale Model’s employ of alternatives and innovative portfolio management techniques revolutionized how foundations and endowments benchmark their investment processes and asset allocations, the Maple Model can be seen as a way for public (and private) pension plans to create an environment that rewards top talent, continues to attract and retain said talent to its ranks, and deliver benchmark and peer-besting returns that put its adherents into positive funding ratios. This chat with James Burron, CAIA, Partner and Co-Founder of CAASA, member of CAIA Toronto, will begin with a briefing on the rationale, history, and efficacy of this Canadian pension management method and lead into a discussion amongst attendees of how it might be used in other jurisdictions.

  • Guest Speaker: James Burron, CAIA, Partner & Co-Founder, CAASA
  • Moderator: Minjun Kim, CAIA, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Strategic Asset Partners, CAIA Korea Chapter Head
