Asset allocation is a major decision when it comes to investment returns in a public fund portfolio, even more so than security selection, for UAE investors, said Lakshmi Narayanan, Chairman, The Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute.

The Global Wealth Conference 2024 that is being held in the U.K. has an emphasis on three core themes: sustainability, investor allocation, and innovation.

“The upcoming conference seeks to provide a platform to address these very themes, including innovation and sustainability when it comes to investing. Without generalizing too much, innovation when it comes to emerging sectors is an attractive proposition for the UAE, which is keen on diversifying its economy away from oil and gas,” Narayanan said.

The upcoming conference features a diverse lineup of speakers and sessions covering topics ranging from impact investing to green finance. “Events like GWC 2024 are designed to offer networking opportunities, thoughtful debate, and chances for partnerships when it comes to areas like impact investing and the greening of the global financial system. UAE businesses have the change to meet with other companies and investors from around the globe that could enhance their understanding of emerging trends,
