WEBINAR

How to Generate Alpha in the Current Environment


Sponsored by CPP Investments

Today, the policymakers are at a crossroads, supporting continued market uncertainty. How do hedge fund investors capture the opportunities while avoiding value traps?


An engaging panel with three female thought leaders to explore the opportunities for alpha across asset classes:


  • How would you rate the current opportunity set and why?
  • Where are the main pockets of opportunity by asset class, theme, and sector?
  • What are the main market risks for the remainder of 2022 and beyond?


You may email your questions to edutoronto@100women.org by Friday, September 30, 2022 or submit them during the webinar.
