The panel, Asset Management: Repositioning for the Future, saw Caroline Hyde, anchor of Bloomberg Markets, host a lively discussion about what makes the current environment so unprecedented from a market and ESG perspective, and featured Kristi Mitchem, CEO of BMO Global Asset Management, Gary Chropuvka, President of WorldQuant, Carter Lyons, Chief Business Officer at Two Sigma, Joanna Welsh, Chief Risk Officer of Portfolio Construction and Risk Group at the Citadel Group Companies, and Neal Wilson, Co-CEO and Co-Chief Investment Officer of EJF Capital LLC.
