Strategic Investment Group held its 12th annual Idea Lab on September 28-29, 2016. 

The event kicked off on September 28th with a series of workshops highlighting Strategic’s deep investment resources and disciplined process, and showing how we are positioning client portfolios in today’s challenging investment environment. 

That evening, renowned historian Niall Ferguson, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, addressed our guests after dinner atop the Hay-Adams hotel, overlooking the White House.  He delivered a fascinating keynote speech on the historical antecedents of this year’s presidential election.

The conference continued on September 29th with Strategic’s team of investment professionals moderating a program of lectures, interviews and panel discussions by prominent outside experts.  Topics included global market drivers like Brexit and China, hedge funds, evaluating market risks, and best practices in governance.    

The 2016 idea Lab is the latest manifestation of Strategic’s commitment to thought leadership in the investment industry.  Buzzing with insights and debates, it was a high-powered forum for discussing how institutional investors can overcome the current challenges and achieve their investment objectives.
