Meet this Year's Speakers: 2023 Sharing of Knowledge Learning Series

10 min read

TD Global Investment Solutions is pleased to be visiting 9 cities across Canada for our 20th annual Sharing of Knowledge Learning Series (SOKLS). This year's SOKLS theme, Reinventing Globalization: Navigating the New Investment Regime, is centered around how globalization has changed its course and the investment implications of the new regime. Globalization’s golden age began in the 1980s and since then, it has manifested in different ways. How can investors manage these historic changes and prepare for the unknown?

Join us and learn from TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) and Epoch Investment Partners Inc. (TD Epoch) institutional investment leaders as they discuss how globalization over the next 20 years will look very different from what we're used to and the importance of portfolio construction in an ever-changing environment.
