TEXPERS Wraps Another Successful Summer Forum

We at TEXPERS are just now getting our feet back under us after the Summer Educational Forum in San Antonio last week. What a great time was had by all! We had 422 registered attendees to the conference, which is about what we’ve been having nearly every summer now.

To get an idea of what they were learning, here’s a thumbnail sketch of the first two days of workshops and presentations:

• Fiduciary Responsibility and Insurance Solutions
• Global Yield Curve Asset Management
• Global Investing: Challenges and Opportunities
• Research Highlights in Pensions and Retirement Security
• GASB from a Portfolio Manager’s Perspective
• QE Withdrawal
• The Compelling Case for Allocating to Managed Futures
• Comparing Fund Benchmarks to Endowments and Foundations
• Asset Allocation Strategies - Tactical and Strategic
• Debt Instruments
• Quantitative Analysis
• Investment Opportunities in Africa and Asia

Get ready for our 25^th Annual Conference next year at the Renaissance Worthington hotel in Fort Worth, March 23-26. More information will be made available here as we develop the conference. – Max Patterson
