The inaugural West Coast Sub-Advisory Roundtable will be the second event in Institutional Investor’s newly launched Sub-Advisory Institute — a private membership organization for buyers of sub-advisory services representing mutual fund companies, OCIOs, insurance firms, retirement platforms, wealth managers, and other asset managers which out-source. Through expert-led panel discussions, presentations, guest speakers and live market research, each event will bring together leading participants in the sub-advisory landscape to assess how the investment objectives of institutions are changing and how firms that offer sub-advised strategies can respond to these needs.
