Opal Financial Group's Investment Trends Summit is an event designed to explore the trends and challenges facing institutional investors in the current economic environment. Set to take place July 15 - 17, 2007 in Girdwood, Alaska, this event will serve as an educational forum focused on closely examining and analyzing the trends of the future, as well as exploring ways to implement these strategies in particular investment plans. Speakers and attendees will discuss such topics as investor perspectives, investment management theory, trends in emerging markets, socially responsible investing, risk management, investing in venture capital, real estate and commodities, and more.

Designated as a Platinum Series Event, we have designed this event to meet the specific needs of money managers, senior pension fund officers and trustees who prefer smaller, more structured programs. By limiting this event to 15 sponsoring managers and pension fund representatives with funds over $1 billion in assets, participants will be able to more carefully examine a distinct set of topics specifically tailored to the interests of this specialized audience.
