This spring, TD Global Investment Solutions (TDGIS) travelled to eight cities across Canada for the 21^st annual Sharing of Knowledge Learning Series. This in-person regional event featured institutional leaders from TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) and Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (TD Epoch) sharing thought provoking insights and the latest industry trends.

This year's topics focused on two key areas: what AI developments will mean for investors and how to structure private infrastructure deals. To view the speakers and learn more about the Sharing of Knowledge and Learning Series presentations, see below.  

AI is the New Macro: Implications for Investors

Artificial Intelligence (AI) will reshape the next decade as a key investment theme, offering both challenges and opportunities for investors. This presentation provided insights into the labour and productivity transformations AI is expected to bring, the implications for markets, and strategies for making investment decisions in the ever-evolving digital economy.
