TESTIMONIALS

Hear from INDUSTRY LEADERS

Highlight of my calendar

Conexus events are always a highlight of my calendar, for the content that we benefit from and the connections that we make.

Working with [the Conexus] team is also always enjoyable – over the years, your ability to craft not only a great overall agenda, but also the individual sessions that I am speaking or on a panel, has been unparalleled

A real privilege

One 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.

Candid industry conversations

The 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

Top-notch academics

The Fiduciary Investors Symposium at Stanford University featured excellent content, with top-notch academics and an ability to connect with so many high-profile attendees.  Great experience overall, I definitely look forward to attending future events.

Simply world class

This 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.

The very best in the industry

The Fiduciary Investors Symposium at Harvard University was my first time attending a Top1000funds gathering, and I must say that it is the very best in the industry. The quality of the expert speakers, the curation of topics and themes, participation by the highest-level decision makers at the largest sovereign funds in the world elevates FIS into a class of its own. The quality of the peer discussions, insights presented and organization of the event is unparalleled.

Truly global dialogue

Every interaction at FIS, whether with chief investment officers from Canada, the US, Asia, or with asset managers, was a genuine opportunity for me to learn from different mandates, constraints, and perspectives. Despite being held in Singapore, the dialogue is truly global, making it one of the most valuable programs I have attended.

The most effective conference

This is by far the most effective investment conference I attend. FIS Oxford was very useful as a US investor discussing and thinking through general portfolio and investment issues where I got the perspective of pan-European participants and a different lens of the world; sharing similar challenges but with different thoughts and approaches.

Cutting-edge topics

The program for Fiduciary Investors Symposium at Stanford was excellent.  As always, the content stimulated our intellectual curiosity by drawing a direct connection between how we invest our portfolios and cutting-edge topics like AI and synthetic biology.

In a class of its own

The 2026 Harvard event reaffirmed why the Fiduciary Investors Symposium is in a class of its own and among the few outstanding conferences in the industry. Exceptional delegates, excellent subject matter expert speakers, thought-provoking and well-curated content, all in a world-class venue. This is a best-in-class experience. Few events match its global perspectives or calibre of connections. Having attended for nearly a decade, it remains one of the few conferences that consistently maintains its quality and relevance. I am looking forward to the next one.

High-powered group of asset owners

It’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.

Content and connections

As a newly elected official who serves as a fiduciary of approximately $141 billion, I valued both the formal content and the learning through networking with investment professionals from around the globe.

Thought-provoking discussions

The entire experience at the Fiduciary Investors Symposium including a well-crafted agenda, engagement with academics and really thought-provoking discussions with industry peers in a collegiate setting made for a top-notch event.  I look forward to many more.

Rare and rewarding

Few conferences pair an academic environment as distinctive as Harvard’s with a peer group of this caliber. The setting lends itself to deep, thoughtful conversation on important topics, while the network of senior investors in attendance ensures those conversations are as practical as they are rigorous. It is a rare and rewarding combination that makes the Fiduciary Investors Symposium one of the most worthwhile events on my calendar.

Incredibly valuable

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.
