‘Investment ideas under geopolitical uncertainty, protectionism and persistent inflation.’

On Thursday March the 20th we are organizing our 9th Institutional Investor Afternoon Event. This year’s theme will be ‘Investment ideas under geopolitical uncertainty, protectionism and persistent inflation.’ The current armed conflicts, geopolitical tensions and perhaps also trade wars ask for rigid investment ideas.

For our 9th Institutional Investor Afternoon Event the presenting sponsors are: AllianceBernstein, EVLI, Wellington Management and Payden & Rygel. Each will give a 20 minute presentation followed by Q&A. Jolanda De Groot of the leading magazine Financial Investigator will be our host and moderator.

The event will take place at Kasteel Woerden. This location is not far from Amsterdam & The Hague and easily accessible by car and train. Reception starts at 14:30h followed by brief opening words at 15:00h and the 4 topical & interesting presentations by our sponsors.

Like always we will end with drinks and bites to give everyone the opportunity to meet, greet and network.

This year United Bankers will be hosting the optional ‘After Event Dinner’.

Kasteel Woerden | Kasteel 3 – 3441BZ – Woerden

Travelling:
It’s convenient to visit Kasteel Woerden by car. The venue has it’s own parking space and at walking distance there are 2 parking garages ‘Defensie Eiland’ and ‘Castellum’. The Woerden train station is on walking distance too.

This year’s theme will be ‘Investment ideas under rising yields, inflation and geopolitical uncertainty.’ The war in Ukraine, the rising energy prices, the severe global price inflation, the increasing geopolitical pressures and the rising fear for a sharp global slow down all ask for rigid, all weather investment ideas.

Like usual reception starts at 14:30h directly followed by 4 topical & interesting presentations from our sponsors. Each presentation will be 20 minutes and will be hosted by Jolanda de Groot of the leading magazine ‘Financial Investigator’. Like always we will end with drinks and bites to give everyone the opportunity to meet, greet and network.

On Wednesday May the 25th 2022 we finally hosted our 6th Institutional Investor Afternoon Event. Due to Corona the event was rescheduled 5 times so it was great to finally see a full venue again and the amazing lineup of presenting parties!

The working title of the event was:

‘Investment ideas under persistent low yields and geopolitical uncertainly’.

The lineup of presenting parties:

EVLI | Nordic Unrated and Rated Credits

Lazard | Sustainable Direct Infrastructure

TwentyFour Assset Management (Vontobel) | European ABS

Wellington | Climate Change – Another Way of Living and Investing

The first 5 events were hosted at the lovely Amsterdam based Huize Frankendael. Because our crowd grew we moved to the Amstelveen based Restaurant Kronenburg. Restaurant Kronenburg did an amazing job and we already let them know we will be back for the 7th Institutional Investor Afternoon Event on Tuesday March the 14th 2023!

Like always we had 4 inspiring presentations followed by networking over drinks and bites. After such a long time it was great to see each other and say cheers again! Over the optional ‘After Event Dinner’ the World Gold Council gave some key & original insights on Gold.

We want to thank our guests, sponsors and Restaurant Kronenburg for making the event possible. A special thank you goes to our moderator Jolanda de Groot of Financial Investigator. Like always she did a great job and helped us big time!

We look forward to seeing you again on Tuesday March the 14th 2023!

We are very proud and grateful to announce that EVLI has decided to support Finance For Hockey! On Wednesday May the 25th 2022 EVLI will be one of the presenting parties at our annual Institutional Investor Afternoon Event which has the working title ‘Investment ideas under persistent low yields and geopolitical uncertainly.’ With their contribution EVLI has made true impact on Dutch Hockey! Also on behalf of all young hockey talents we provide training for we want to thank EVLI and look forward to their contribution at our event!

Evli is a Nordic boutique asset manager focusing mainly on institutional clients, delivering diversifying and return-enhancing fixed-income and equity strategies with a transparent active process, deep ESG-integration and of course a Nordic twist. On the event Evli is happy to introduce the Nordic corporate bond market, which provides significant excess returns compared to rated similar credit quality peers in Continental Europe. The key is that many Nordic companies choose to issue bonds without official credit ratings. This provides the opportunity to invest in bonds issued by high-quality, well-established and very transparent, in most cases publicly quoted, companies. For a Dutch Institution, this provides the opportunity to increase the return expectation of its corporate bond portfolio without compromising on credit quality, low-volatility or market liquidity.
