Warburg just closed on a $17bn global growth fund last October. We’ll learn about how Warburg measures risks and informs fund strategy and deployment, as geopolitics plays a major role in global asset allocation. We’ll also hear firsthand working with Timothy Geithner, the Treasury Secretary, during the ’08 crisis.
