About OUTLOOK 2036

 

You are invited to Exante Data’s 10-Year Anniversary Conference,  Outlook 2036 - hosted in partnership with Vanda - for a powerful, data-backed look at the macro shifts that will redefine global markets through 2036.

The world is changing. The next ten years will be nothing like the previous decades. Policy making is different. The global financial architecture is shifting and investors are behaving differently. Macro is more important than ever, for all asset classes.

Combining expert insights and proprietary data sets from Exante Data, Vanda and host of excellent speakers, the conference will examine the trends that will define the next era of global macro investing.
