Opal Financial Group's Investment Consultants Forum is an event that provides a unique environment for developing dialogue between plan sponsors, managers and consultants. The role of the consultant is more important than ever in making investment decisions, and the plan consultant is often asked to take on much more than the traditional role of evaluating investment managers. Set to take place in December, 2008, this event will feature panel-driven discussions focused on specific investment techniques of fixed income and hedge funds, the evolving role of plan consultants, the manager evaluation process, transition management, investing in global markets, and more.
