2023 MGIM Think-Tank investment conference

Our annual Think-Tank investment conference was held in London on 20 and 21 September 2023, hosted by Momentum Global Investment Management.

Think-Tank is designed to give our intermediary and wealth management clients substantive investment-related insights through presentations from a wide range of leading global investors. Each year, the conference has a particular theme based on the most important issues facing investors and this year it was ‘Soft landing, hard landing, no landing? Strategies for a wide range of outcomes’. Presenters explored the challenges and uncertainties around the near-term outlook for the world economy and financial markets and provided a longer-term perspective on investment opportunities that are being created. We provided delegates with unrivalled thinking on the issues they face when advising their clients on investments.
