A Network for Public Asset Managers

Each year, RAMP convenes events that build community and promote knowledge sharing among public sector asset management practitioners. These conferences bring together members and non-members to build awareness of common challenges, share effective responses, and expand peer-to-peer networks.
RAMP’s signature event, the Executive Forum for Policymakers & Senior Officials, occurs annually in Washington, immediately after the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings. It attracts central bank governors, heads of pension and sovereign wealth funds, and leading intellectuals as presenters and participants. RAMP also brings together industry peers at events focused on regional or thematic issues.

Since 2008, RAMP partners with the BIS and select central banks to co-host every two years the Public Investors Conference on Portfolio and Risk Management. The biennial conference convenes leaders in the industry to discuss policy issues, quantitative methods and the current challenges for central banks, sovereign wealth funds and public pension plans.
