Long-Term Investing: An Optimal Strategy in Short-Term Oriented Markets

In recent decades, investment horizons have dramatically shortened.  Two critical issues emerging in this environment are whether long-term investing is optimal; and if so, are particular mechanisms required to facilitate such investments?  The conference Long-Term Investing: An Optimal Strategy in Short-Term Oriented Markets will begin delving into such concerns by examining:

• How does long-term investing add value?
• What incentive and governance mechanisms support the implementation of long-term investing?
• Can environmental and social corporate governance (ESG) factors increase the success of long-term investing?
• Are long-term forecasting and valuation path dependent?

By examining these issues the conference will bridge information gaps between academic research and fund managers about long-term investing in short-term oriented markets.

Please note that this event is by invitation only.
