​MSCI Institutional Investor Forum - Abu Dhabi

The MSCI Institutional Investor Forum brings together senior investment professionals to explore the trends shaping global markets and portfolio decisions. This year, the Forum comes to Abu Dhabi as one of four invitation-only gatherings across the Middle East bringing together institutional investors from across the region. 

Explore how geopolitical change, AI and evolving market dynamics are reshaping investment decisions. Through expert-led sessions, discover practical approaches to portfolio construction, risk management and investment opportunities across public and private markets. 

Gain the latest MSCI research, exchange perspectives with regional investment leaders, and hear keynote insights from Ashley Lester, Chief Research and Development Officer at MSCI, alongside specialists from across MSCI. 

Together we will address 

• Positioning for a Shifting World: Navigating AI, Geopolitics and the New Investment Paradigm 
• How AI and geopolitical change are reshaping investment opportunities, portfolio construction and strategic asset allocation. 
• Public Markets, Reimagined: Finding Alpha in a Changing Landscape 
• New sources of alpha through evolving market structure, factor insights and index innovation. 
• Private Markets in Focus: Turning Clearer Data into Better Decisions 
• Greater transparency across private capital: valuation, performance measurement and total-portfolio views that let allocators compare private and public exposures on consistent terms. 
• Materiality, Mapped: From Sustainability to Structural Exposure 

How sustainability and climate data has correlated with financial performance across Gulf markets and beyond, and where new data on themes, locations and dependencies can broaden that view.
