18th Annual Capital Challenge

Investment Ideas for a World in Crisis

Investors faced a tough 2022, hit by rising interest rates, high inflation, geopolitical tensions and volatile markets – will 2023 bring more of the same? Or will markets finally calm? Which themes, asset classes and investment strategies will help investors best navigate the year ahead?

To find out, book your place for the ETF event of the year, hosted by CISI and HANetf, the 18th anniversary of this annual conference.

The conference will deliver an abundance of thought leadership for the growing ETF market, with speakers including professional fund managers, independent analysts and journalists.

This year we will cover:

Can you invest in gold and still be ESG-friendly?
Will the crypto-winter end or will it turn into a permanent frost?
Can the travel industry continue to bounce back?
How is digital finance reshaping the global economy?
Is tech investing a luxury of easier times?
