Agenda

8:30 a.m. ・ Registration & Breakfast

9:00 a.m. ・ SignalLab: Research-Grade Signals for Portfolio Construction and Risk

MSCI SignalLab is a modular, central platform for investment signals across factors, macro, crowding, and more, giving portfolio managers and quant researchers a governed library they can access, customize, and backtest in one place, delivered through API and Snowflake. This session walks senior investment and risk leaders through how SignalLab shortens the distance from research idea to production signal, from a multi-quarter build down to days, while keeping the methodology transparent and auditable for risk and compliance.

9:45 a.m. ・ Break

10:00 a.m. ・ One Portfolio, One View: Integrating Public and Private Assets

For asset owners managing to a single total-fund view, the line between public and private exposures is now a portfolio construction and governance question rather than an asset-class one. This session takes a risk-first look at building and overseeing an integrated public-private portfolio: modeling liquid and illiquid holdings in one consistent framework, managing liquidity and commitment pacing through market stress, and measuring true portfolio risk when private marks arrive on a different cadence than public ones. It uses the interval-fund-in-a-box that managers are now constructing as proof that the underlying risk framework holds, then translates that into the allocator's mandate of total portfolio oversight. Grounded in MSCI's private assets and multi-asset risk solutions, including PACS, the Private Assets Data Platform, and daily NAV nowcasting, it gives asset owners a defensible, single-view approach to constructing and governing the total fund.
