Global Dialogue is AIST's premier international event which
examines the retirement systems of other countries and developing
strategies to manage growth in ageing populations.
2012 marks the fourth Dialogue which will examine issues
particular to Europe. Participants will learn about European
markets, governance best practice, the European carbon trading
experience, and will be given an insight into the new UK pension
system, while examining case studies on European fund collaboration
and understanding member activism.
Occurring once every two years, Global Dialogue is a key event
for trustee directors and senior fund staff looking to add value to
their fund through international insights.
As the European debt crisis continues to unfold, more and more
bailout packages are being announced and countries
are struggling to come to grips with austerity measures. It
remains to be seen whether the Eurozone will cope with this massive
challenge - the first major crisis to occur since the monetary
union was created. It also remains to be seen how this will affect
the rest of the world including Australia, as we experienced
through the Global Financial Crisis, we are not immune to market
failures in other regions.
Meanwhile, European pension funds continue to take leading roles
in governance, responsible and alternative investing, and climate
change.
The Global Dialogue will provide you with a timely program
focusing on the key challenges facing Europe, as well as examine
best practice in a number of areas.
AIST is committed to the ongoing education of trustee directors and
executive staff of Australian superannuation funds, and to
assisting them in meeting their fiduciary responsibilities as
long-term investors on behalf of the working population.
Please note that this project is limited in size, so that everyone
who attends can play an active part in the Dialogue.
