Our IM|Power proposition is simple.

The future of investment management is digital, the future is inclusive and the future must be sustainable. Encompassing seven underlying events, the two week IM|Power will broadcast from the US, Europe and Asia connecting leaders across the entire breadth of investment and wealth management, in a mission to create a profitable and purposeful industry relevant for decades to come. The pandemic has accelerated our mission. It’s powerful.

The three pillars that define IM|Power

The transition to a sustainable, digital, inclusive investment management industry could not be more urgent. By weaving these key pillars throughout the event we can help you and your business stay relevant and profitable. Here’s how...

The future is sustainable - and transparent

The pandemic with its disruption of global supply chains and connection to environmental destruction has ensured sustainability is the only game in town, say many leading investment management CEOs. But we all know that the practicalities are not straightforward. Across IM|Power we surface the best practice details to help you make the right decisions in your business’s sustainability journey.

In IM|Power Leaders, top CEOs and policy makers explore how central banks, governments, investors or financial markets create resilience and respond to mitigating climate, global health and inequality. How are asset management and wealth management leaders evolving their sustainable finance proposition across the business and measuring progress? What do asset owners from the influential global investor alliances, representing $45 trillion AUM, want to see from asset managers and corporates? In FundForum Asia leaders talk about the opportunities around low carbon future in Asia and Greater China in particular.

Over at our specialist Sustainability and Impact Investor Forum (SIIF), fund buyers and asset allocators tackle the details of overcoming ESG data issues and standardisation to ensure perfect does not become the enemy of good, while fund managers discuss ESG beyond integration and the positive stories around the growth of impact investing. Don’t miss the 2nd annual SIIF awards in association with SharingAlpha where we profile over 30 funds chosen by investors.

Finally, designing and building ESG ETFS strategies is a major focus of Inside ETFs Europe where we explore the best building blocks for construction of ESG ETFs and for investors we tackle the tough questions like data reliability, impact of technology. There is a clear message here on the increase demand on ESG ETF: and the implications of future growth of ESG investing in Europe.

The future is digital

Without doubt innovation in open finance that deliver personalised investment products and services catering for customers’ overall financial wellness is the key to how to become a trusted advisor to the consumer along life’s financial journey. We do the hard work for you in bringing best practice to the surface.

Hear the most influential CEOs and platform leaders discuss open finance in IM|Power Leaders and in FundForum International we look at partnerships in action and the link between digitisation excellence and distribution success. In FundForum Asia, global platform leaders relay their experience of embracing technology for a digital future in Asia that will connect and guide the future investor.

In Digital Wealth 2020, business heads explore how the latest emerging technologies and digital tools can help wealth managers better serve clients. From retail to UHNW investors, the concept of value is shifting from cost and performance to user experience, convenience and personalization: customer experience & expectation, portfolio personalisation, financial inclusion, enacting a culture shift in traditional business models.

The future is inclusive, enabling financial wellbeing for all

From the opening of IM|Power Leaders we explore how to reframe asset management in a post COVID-19 world – Global CEOs take on how we can help our clients and increase the democratisation and scope of wealth management. How do we deliver millions of savers’ short and long-term incomes now? What kind of new global economy is emerging and how must we rethink risk management & investment in the light of these new geopolitical and environmental pressures to deliver long-term financial security to savers?

Meanwhile FundForum International tackles head-on both how top asset allocators are resetting their models to address these long-term investment challenges - and new investment opportunities… and with whom next generation retail and HNW investors will do business and why. Taking this further, the question of how to deliver financial wellness solutions and holistic financial advice that will characterise next-generation wealth management is a key focus of Digital Wealth 2020.

In an Asia dominated by China, FundForum Asia pulls together the region’s global insights, with leaders shedding light on how they are adapting to the new era, using technology to empower investment decisions for across the largest and most innovative retail platforms.
