FT Live will host the Future of Asset Management North America in Boston for the first time from October 19 to 20, convening more than 1,000 senior executives to examine the forces reshaping the asset and wealth management industry.
The two-day summit comes at a pivotal time for the sector, as the expansion of private markets, rapid advances in artificial intelligence, changing client expectations and geopolitical uncertainty reshape how firms invest, operate and grow. The programme will explore private market liquidity and valuations, M&A, distribution, product innovation and the growing role of private assets in retirement portfolios.
Through keynote interviews and panels moderated by Financial Times and FT Specialist journalists, industry leaders will discuss how firms are responding to these changes and positioning themselves for the next phase of growth. Headline speakers include:
- Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton;
- Ben Huneke, Head of Investment Management at Morgan Stanley; and
- Ted Truscott, CEO of Columbia Threadneedle Investments.
“Asset management is at a decisive moment, as the industry navigates new technologies, the growth of private markets and changing client expectations,” said Brooke Masters, US managing editor at the FT. “It is a perfect time to bring Future of Asset Management North America to Boston, the birthplace of the mutual fund and one of the world’s leading investment centres.”
