Are today’s CIOs truly prepared for the investment machine of the future? In our latest episode, Andrew Junkin, CIO of the Virginia Retirement System, shares how to limit drawdowns, strengthen risk management, and spot red flags in fund selection.
What does it really take to gain an edge in volatile emerging markets—and how much of that outperformance stems from your team and your access to senior policymakers and corporate leaders? In this episode, we explore those questions with Rob Citrone, Founder and Portfolio Manager of Discovery Capital, LLC.
As portfolio complexity grows, why would anyone want to create operational drag on trade execution activities that move through investment, operations, risk, and compliance teams? In our latest Vidrio blog, we review the steps that we advise global allocators who are looking to centralize the trade process, raising efficiency in operations and transparency. Read about our approach by clicking here or on the image above.
In season three, we had CIOs from foundations and endowments, retirement systems, and educators from leading business schools. Each of our guests brings tremendous insights forged over many years in the finance space. However, where do they turn when they want to switch their minds to another theme or topic? We asked that very question throughout the year and pulled their responses into our latest blog.
