Join Tom Brigandi, the CFA Institute Inaugural Global Outstanding Young Leader, at his invitation-only 2019 Outlook & Holiday Networking Reception to mix and mingle with hundreds of fellow NYC-based investment professionals. Please arrive by 5:45 PM, as we will begin promptly at 6:00 PM with an opening keynote address by the Chief Investment Officer of New York Life Investment Management, Jae Yoon, CFA. The opening keynote address will be followed by a panel of senior industry participants sharing their investment outlooks for 2019. Alexis DuFresne, Asset Management Recruiting Practice Director at Whitney Partners, will be sharing her insights about the investment job market outlook for 2019 during the closing keynote address, which will follow the 2019 investment outlook panel.
During the three hour reception, complimentary food will be provided by our organizers. There will also be a cash bar. Registration for this event, which will be held under Chatham House rules, will be limited to 500 investment professionals. This is not an official CFA Society New York event and is a holiday reception being organized for friends & personal contacts of the organizers. Finance industry peers who do not receive an invitation may request one.
Last year, Tom Brigandi's 2018 Investment Outlook & Holiday Networking Reception, was oversubscribed with over 550 asset owner, buy-side and sell-side investment professionals registered. Collectively, registered investment professionals for this event represented organizations that have over 20 trillion dollars of assets under ownership, assets under advisory and assets under management. Due to fire-code capacity issues experienced last year, the organizers will not accept any additional registrations once 500 is reached.
