The Future of Investing:
Capitalizing on Growth and Innovation

The 2018 Future of Investing series finale is in San Francisco this year, with a closer look at growth and innovation and how they impact markets and the economy. The global economy is evolving to become more and more tech centric, and while Silicon Valley is leading the charge, the growth story is not just a tech story, but broad-based across many sectors. Through leading voices on the topic, investors will get a better understanding of what’s happening across our economy, which areas of business and emerging technologies are having the most influence, and where markets are in the growth cycle and how to capitalize on the investments of tomorrow.

Growth vs. Value: What Comes Next?

One of the burning questions in today’s market is when the value trade will finally come back in favor. But, as we’ve seen over the last year growth stocks to no avail continue to lead on the back of prominent names in the Nasdaq 100. While many point to these companies offering better earning growth prospects, growth’s outperformance over value peers is not just a tech story, but broad-based across many sectors. We’ll gather investors to discuss where we go from here and how they each uniquely define value. Given the recent dominance in growth, what catalysts could turn the value trade around? And in a market where rates are rising and inflationary pressures are accelerating, which value stocks & sectors look attractive?

Spotlight: Connecting Businesses and the World

With a focus on IoT, we’ll enlighten today’s investors as to how one Silicon Valley corporation is helping businesses, large and small, unlock growth and navigate a digital world. In order to draw conclusions on the future of investment, one must begin to think differently about the impact emerging tech will have on everything from the economy, to industries, and the end consumer.
