Though the industry seems to be focused on other themes, the importance of international experience is universal to our clients. This is a trend that has been at work since the early 2000s, though it is not talked about as much as other "hotter" topics like AI.

There are many ways to measure the success of a conference. One of the more reliable is attendance at the last session on the final day. The Association of Asian American Investment Managers (AAAIM) Annual Mtg. stands out in engagement from any conference I have been to over the last several years.

We are proud of the small role we played as a recruiting partner in this process.

Our search work continues to be driven by private market firms and functions. Over a third of our work has historically had a mission driven aspect, like working with this large public fund.
