Mercer's investment consulting business is pleased to invite you to our Investment Forum in Toronto on September 28 and 29, 2010 - Taking advantage of a two-speed world. The event comprises one and a half days of challenging presentations, stimulating ideas and thought-provoking discussions that will put you at the forefront of best practice investing. It also provides excellent networking opportunities with colleagues in the industry.

We are priviledged to have, as keynote speaker, Jeff Rubin, Canadian economist and author.

The extreme financial and economic developments of the past two years have firmly closed the door on the “Great Moderation”. Relatively high economic growth and low inflation on a global scale, over an extended period, have been replaced by uncertainty and a growing gap between the performance of China, much of Asia and other emerging markets, and that of the mature western economies. Cutting public deficits, reinvigorating an enfeebled banking system, and reducing unemployment levels are three of the challenges facing many Western economies. In contrast, while Brazil’s and many Asian economies continue to thrive, questions are increasingly being asked about the sustainability of export driven, '’factory to the world” economics, particularly given subdued demand in trade-deficit countries.

The current environment raises a host of questions as to how institutional investors should change and adapt their strategies to be successful in a two-speed world. For example:

The forum will also attempt to look at some of the latest developments to integrate emerging best practice in climate risk control, in a practical way, into institutional investment arrangements. To do so, we will draw on findings from a carbon footprint assessment project for which Mercer is partnering with a number of significant institutional investors.
