GEORGE VITTA TO SPEAK AT AGRIP/NLC-RISC CONFERENCE
Association of Governmental Risk and Insurance Pools (AGRIP) and the National League of Cities Risk Information Sharing Consortium (NLC-RISC) will present an Investment Management & Oversight conference on October 5 & 6, 2011. Members of AGRIP and NLC-RISC will attend education sessions geared toward building a sound investment program for their pooled risk funds.
George Vitta will attend and speak at the conference. In addition to his participation in panel and round-table discussions, George will present a session on Performance Measurement. When managing a risk pool, an important component to success is the ability to assess the portfolio’s performance. George will discuss the concept of benchmarking and how to determine an appropriate benchmark.
The current economic environment has been unpredictable and volatile; making this conference timely and fitting. Other sessions will provide an update on the latest developments in the markets, including current interest rates, yield spreads, and major market trends as they pertain to the public funds investor. Also included will be a review of key economic data and what it indicates about where we are in the economic recovery process.
