A Tale of Two Pools: Risk Asset Allocation
The Board members from two governmental pools continue to grumble about low, single-digit fixed income returns.

The next Insurer Investment Forum XXII will be held on March 23 - 24, 2022, with the Investment Seminar for Gov't Risk Pools taking place on the afternoon of March 23, 2022.
