SUMMARY:NL Yield Enhancement Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Voor Nederlands klik hier \nYIELD ENHANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS\n31 May\, 2018\n15:30-18:30\n Rosarium \nThis invitation only IIEF Roundtable will focus on two important and frequently underutilised strategies for maximizing net investment returns without changing the risk/return dynamics of the investment portfolio: \nSECURITIES LITIGATION\nInstitutional investors suffer significant damage to their holdings due to corporate fraud. Not only can securities litigation have a positive impact on investor returns in the current low yield environment; legal recoveries can also help institutional investors fulfill their fiduciary duty and ESG transparency objectives. \nINVESTMENT COST ANALYSES & OPTIMIZATION PROGRAMS\nDirect & indirect and explicit & implicit costs reduce net investment returns. Investment cost analyses can reduce the drag of these costs on portfolio performance. Cost analyses also empower investors by providing greater transparency & insight. \nMODERATOR:  CEES MICHIELSE\nCees Michielse is a specialist in pension related issues. He has served on the boards of numerous pension funds\, including ABP\, Notariaat\, Vutfonds Overheid & Onderwijs\, KPN and Cultuur. His current activities include memberships in PFZW’s Pensioenraad and the Pensioen Commissie of the Gezamenlijke Ouderenorganisaties. \nSPONSORS\n  \n\n\n\n\nTHIS EVENT WILL BE CONDUCTED IN THE DUTCH LANGUAGE.
