ABOUT THE EVENT
Funds Society is delighted to invite you to the third edition of the Funds Society Houston Investment Summit to be held on March 2nd, 2023 at the Intercontinental Houston Medical Center.
After listening to the investments ideas and the outlook of our sponsors (AXA Investment Managers, Janus Henderson Investors, MFS Investment Management, Manulife Investment Management and Voya Investment Management) we will head to the Houston's Livestock Show and Rodeo, where we will enjoy a rodeo show followed by Lauren Daigle's concert from the Funds Society private suite.
A shuttle will take us to the NRG Stadium, host of the Rodeo, and then take us back to the hotel after the show (complementary valet parking will be provided at the Intercontinental Hotel).
Join us for a great investments retreat with a perfect mix of academics and one of the most traditional events in Texas. Spots are limited so please reserve your space at your earliest convenience.
If you're not based in Houston, Funds Society will take care of flights, and accommodation. Additionally, accommodation can be provided for all other attendees upon request.
FOR COMPLIANCE REASONS, THE ATTENDANCE OF THE FULL ACADEMIC PROGRAM IS MANDATORY.
