Investment Consultants’ Forum Comes to Chicago for the First Time

Oct. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- This December, the Opal Financial Group will host the first annual Midwest edition of the Investment Consultants’ Forum, which will return to New York in the spring.

The forum provides a unique environment for developing dialogue between plan sponsors, managers, and consultants. The role of the institutional consultant is more important than ever in making investment decisions, often being asked to take on much more than just the evaluation of investment managers.

This one day event will feature panel-driven discussions focused on specific investment techniques of fixed income and hedge fund managers, the evolving role of institutional consultants, the manager evaluation process, transition management, investing in global markets, and more.

The First Annual Investment Consultants’ Forum Midwest will take place on December 2 at the W Chicago Lakeshore.  With striking views of Lake Michigan, the hotel is located just minutes from the Magnificent Mile, in the heart of the largest city in the Midwest.  The cutting-edge conference facilities make this the perfect venue for meaningful exchange between delegates and participants.
