Building a Long-Term Investment Culture in Armenia

A rare conversation with Joseph Simonian, PhD, a global expert in institutional investing, quantitative finance, and AI. As the Head of Equity Portfolio Design & Analytics at CalPERS — the largest public pension fund in the United States — Joseph brings over 20 years of experience from the front lines of global investing. He will share practical lessons on how the world's largest institutional investors manage risk and embrace long-term discipline, and what Armenia can learn as it develops its own investment culture. The discussion will be hosted by Karen Gyulbudaghyan, venture capitalist and founder of Ground Zero Venture Café. This event is open to everyone, including students, entrepreneurs, and engineers. No background in finance is required, only curiosity.
