The second edition of the International Pension Conference of Montreal will take place on June 9, at The Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal
Presented in collaboration with Finance Montréal and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec as part of the International Economic Forum of the Americas, the conference is an international event advancing the debate on pension issues and solutions around the world.
It provides a unique opportunity for key players in the pension industry — policy makers and political advisers, financial experts, actuaries and pension plan administrators — to meet and exchange ideas.
Among the topics that will be discussed at this event are the role of the government and the private sector in longevity risk management, flexibility in the different retirement systems around the world and the role of long-term investors in economic development and strategic risks.
“Our society is hit hard by pension-related issues. This complex matter concerns everyone,” said Michael Sabia, president and CEO of La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec. “Institutional investors and pension fund managers have a responsibility to generate target returns for their clients. It is therefore critical that we develop long-term strategies that resist the ever-present temptation of short-termism.”
Finance Montréal was created in 2010 by players in the financial services industry at the invitation of the Quebec Government. Its mission is to enhance Montreal’s reputation as a strong, innovative and world-class financial hub.
