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. Learn more about the Public Investors Conference.

  • In addition to the Executive Forum, RAMP is hosting the following executive-level and regional forums this year:

    Asia Forum on Reserve Management co-hosted by Bank of Korea

    • The forum will focus on global market themes and topical issues in public asset management. Discussion topics include: Monetary policy divergence and its impact on emerging markets; Emerging markets and reserve management; Rethinking public asset management including the latest trends and the future; Innovative technology and its impact on central banking and reserve management, and Climate change and ESG investing.

    European & Central Asia Forum on Reserve Management co-hosted by Bulgarian National Bank

    • The regional forum covers foreign reserve management and other official assets, with a focus on regional challenges and emerging trends, among central bank senior management.

    RAMP-OMFIF Forum with Central Bank of Chile

    • The Forum aims to share lessons learned from managing foreign currency reserve and other investment portfolios by bringing together central bank leadership, senior management, and reserve managers.
