Influencing $50 trillion+ in fiduciary capital
Conexus Financial hosts a series of premium invitation-only-events that connect and inform leaders in institutional investment and wealth management around the world. In so doing, it engages and partners with leading academics and tertiary education institutions.





UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
The Fiduciary Investors Symposium examines the challenges that long-term investors face in an environment of disruption, including ongoing geopolitical risk and shifts in global economic dynamics. By accessing the faculty of England’s oldest and most esteemed university, this thought-provoking event will leave investors empowered to tackle disruption in their portfolios and their working lives.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY
This Fiduciary Investors Symposium will celebrate the fast-moving change taking place in economies and communities, and will examine the impact of innovation on our lives and workplaces. Drawing on the esteemed Stanford University faculty, and taking advantage of the Silicon Valley location, it will look at the incredible disruption and opportunities presented by AI and technological advancement; as well as the core investment challenges of risk management, operational excellence and efficiency, and future-looking capital allocation and portfolio construction techniques.
NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE / RAFFLES
The global economy is increasingly bifurcated between the US, Europe and Asia and how the growth projections and geopolitical risks between these regions plays out is of increasing interest to institutional investors. The Fiduciary Investors Symposium in Singapore will look at the return and impact opportunities in the region, and the importance of Asia in the global economy.
OLD PARLIAMENT HOUSE
The Retirement Conference is jointly hosted by Conexus Financial and The Conexus Institute. The conference brings together the largest super funds, politicians, Treasury, APRA, ASIC, leading service providers, and select industry thought leaders in a collaborative open forum setting. The focus is on how the system can deliver better retirement outcomes for Australians.
UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
The “Canadian model” has long been a pin up for pension organisations and has been a benchmark for peers around the world looking to emulate their success. This conference will explore and debate the tenets of that success for the future including governance and delegated investment authority; large allocations to illiquid assets; insourcing investment management; the use of leverage; and a deliberate focus on costs. The conference will also explore how investors need to build portfolios for resilience and the key themes impacting the future of the investment industry including machine learning/AI and the path to net zero.
Hear from industry leaders
The opportunity to gather with investment peers from around the world to learn and share knowledge about some of most pressing issues facing long term investors today is incredibly valuable. The Fiduciary Investors Symposium was well curated, and time well spent.

Barbara Zvan
President and Chief Executive Officer, University Pension Plan OntarioFor anyone lucky enough to be able to attend, do not miss this event - for the deep insights, the high quality of the presenters, and the global wealth of insights.

Colin Carlton
Senior Advisor, CPP Investment BoardOne of the things I appreciate the most about Top1000funds.com conferences is the opportunity to get out of your day-to-day and engage meaningfully with an intellectual and passionate group of asset owners and asset managers from around the world. These events offer institutional investors a shot to recharge batteries with so many thoughtful peers in a beautiful setting – it's a real privilege.

Alison Loat
Senior managing director, OPTRUSTThe compelling mix of candid industry conversations, thought-leading academic presentations and moderate group size should make this a priority for busy senior investment professionals looking to connect within and without their industry on key topics. I can’t think of too many other events where you can hear one of the fathers of modern financial theory, Dr. Myron Scholes, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and stewards of trillions of dollars of capital all on the same program

Aaron Bennett
Chief investment officer, University Pension PlanThe symposium was terrific – content, attendees and discussions were all excellent and made for a high-quality event. I look forward to attending in future.

June Kim
Investment Director, Global Equity, CalSTRSIt’s a real treat to be with and among such a high-powered group of asset owners and managers, particularly the ability to learn more about efforts underway outside of North America in a variety of formats from panel presentations to lively roundtable discussions. I leave energized at times, and disappointed at others by policy prescription shortfalls to some of the world’s most critical problems – but always, I leave much better informed as a steward tasked with navigating the best investment path forward.

John D. Skjervem
Chief Investment Officer, Utah Retirement SystemsThis event remains so "on the ball". The agenda and breakout sessions help all CIO's with their jobs as it helps us gain valuable perspective. Simply world class.
