Diversifying Beyond · Autumn Cohort 2026

Bring your delegation

The cohort is deliberately senior and deliberately small — designed for executives who hold or directly inform allocation authority.

The cohort

Who this is built for

  • Chief Executives

    Leading pension funds and social security institutions.

  • Chief Investment Officers

    Holding allocation authority at pension funds and social security institutions.

  • Board Members

    Directors who approve allocation mandates and receive the board-ready investment pack.

  • Directors of Investment

    And Heads of International or Alternative Allocation.

  • Chief Actuaries

    And asset-liability management leads at insurers.

  • Investment Committee members

    And trustee representatives with mandate-approval responsibility.

Delegations

Why send two delegates

Funds are encouraged to send two delegates — typically one executive and one member of the investment or governance team — so that the implementation work continues after the programme ends.

Institutions sending two or more delegates should contact the convenor before applying.

Tailored attendance

Institutions may tailor executive attendance across workstreams, provided designated senior representation is present for the four core checkpoints: mandate definition, readiness, recommendation and approval planning.

Substitution

Another qualifying executive from the same institution may attend in place of a confirmed delegate, at no charge, up to seven days before the programme opens.

Planning your delegation

We will help you build the business case and provide the papers your committee needs.
