Panel: A Decade of Institutional Investing: Switchbacks, Mudslides and Summits
June 13th | 2:00 PM ET
A decade in investing is similar to a long journey across awe-inspiring but treacherous terrain. We are honored to invite back four individuals who were at our very first Kayo Summit to share their journey over the past decade. We’ll learn how these individuals evolved as investors, leaders, and professionals in the past 10 years. We’ll talk about switchbacks where they were forced to pivot, summits where they achieved a goal and gained perspective, and maybe even a few mudslides where they lost their footing or experienced failures. Finally, our trailblazers will leave us with tips, hacks, and tools we can borrow for our own journey ahead.
Speakers confirmed: Kristina Koutrakos, Virginia Retirement System, Amy Chen, Smithsonian Institution, Emily Sumner, Glider Office for Growth LLC, Kathryn Regan, Ares Management, Lynn Alexander, Kelso & Company, Morgan Holzaepfel, Adams Street Partners
Panel: Emerging Managers Strategies for 2023 and Beyond
June 12th | 2:45 PM ET
It’s a very tough environment for emerging managers. But, it’s never impossible. This panel of allocators are either focused on diverse and emerging managers, or at least interested to allocate more to this group of managers. How do you define diverse and emerging managers? What are the challenges and frustrations investing in this segment of the market? Will a recessionary environment create more hurdles? Are there success stories to share?
Speakers confirmed: Aris Hatch, GCM Grosvenor, Deborah Medenica, New York State Common Retirement Fund, Amy Ridge, Mercer, Dana Johns, Maryland State Retirement System

Jackie Robinson once said “A Life is Not Important Unless it Impacts Other Lives”. In 2013, a group of leading institutional investors in the endowment sectors had a vision that they could make a greater impact for resource constrained, mission-driven organizations like endowments and foundations. A decade later, Alena Kuprevich, Matthew Wright and Brant Smith have an incredible story to share.
