SUMMARY:BSAS Lunch: Global Listed Infrastructure - In a Class of its Own
DESCRIPTION:Boston Security Analysts Society lunch program on investing in global listed infrastructure as an asset class features Edward P. Keating\, Senior Vice President\, Lazard Asset Management LLC.  \nAsset allocation in today’s environment has become increasingly difficult in part due to three key issues: \n\nuncertainty\, and market volatility\nthreat of inflation\nlack of sustainable yield\n\nGlobal Listed Infrastructure is increasingly playing a role for investors as they try to tackle these issues. Characterized by stable revenues and profits\, robust inflation protection and sustainable dividends\, certain Global Listed Infrastructure investments are highly attractive investments for these uncertain times. Furthermore\, a portfolio of such investments have shown compelling low correlation benefits to other major asset classes. \nAn interactive Q&A session will follow the presentation that will review topics including: \n\nWhat is infrastructure\, and why investors must be selective in their definition of the asset class?\nWhy invest in infrastructure\, and what are the key risks associated?\nWhy are revenues/profitability so stable?\nHow does inflation protection work for Infrastructure assets\, and how does it differ from other real assets?\nHow are investors allocating to Infrastructure?\nHow do investors access Infrastructure?>\nCommon mistakes made when allocating to Infrastructure\n\nAdditional details and registration here.

SUMMARY:Electrification of Transportation - a BSAS panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:Electrification of automobile transportation in the United States presents an economic opportunity that is both large in scope and potentially hugely disruptive to multiple industries that are mainstays in most investors’ portfolios.  We’ve put together this session as part of a larger effort to get mainstream investment managers and analysts more focused on how clean technology and sustainability could significantly change the investment landscape. \n\n Will a transition be slowed by consumer concerns like range anxiety or accelerated by the changing lifestyles of a younger generation of consumers?\nWhat might this transition look like?\nHow fast could it happen?\nWhat would it mean for the way we analyze and value companies in the auto\, energy\, and utility industries?\n\nPlease join our panel for a discussion of the implications of this transition for investors. \nPanelists: \n\nMichael Granoff has been head of oil independence policies for Better Place since its founding in 2007. Granoff is the founder of Maniv Energy Capital\, a New York-based investment group and the first investor in Better Place.
