Global EQD is the leading volatility and systematic investing gathering in the Americas for buysiders.
In this sixth year of the event, our two-day virtual program brings together top asset allocators and portfolio managers to swap strategy insights, benchmark performance, network and tap into the latest themes from volatility harvesting and trading to alternative risk premia, multi-asset strategies and environmental, sustainable and governance-focused investing.
Strategy discussion will dig into handling waning liquidity during market crunches, how to find untapped factors amid global yield compression and how best to structure tail-risk and downside protection. Institutional investors will debate trends and strategies while leading academics and strategists will present the latest research on overlays, hedging and other systematic investing strategies and initiatives.
