Opal Financial Group's annual public funds conference will address issues that are most critical to the investment success of senior public pension fund officers and trustees. The Summit will cover how surplus returns should affect employee benefit plans, the processes for selection and evaluation of investment managers, legal concerns with fund investment and management policies as well as the benefits and pitfalls of a wide variety of investment strategies.

Opal will kick off the event with its 5th Annual America's Cup Regatta, in which attendees will have the opportunity to work with a professional sailing charter crew while competing against industry peers.
