II Partners with Allocator Training Institute to Launch Emerging Talent Academy

NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the growing need for the training and education of investment teams at both asset management firms and allocating institutions such as pension funds, endowments, and foundations, Institutional Investor is proud to announce its partnership with the Allocator Training Institute to launch the Emerging Talent Academy ("the Academy").

"One of the key differentiators of our Emerging Talent Academy," as noted by Katarina Storfer, Head of North America at Institutional Investor, "is our emphasis on this being a practical program. The curriculum is designed to provide participants with the focused concepts that will be directly useful to their career."

Each part of the Academy's curriculum has been designed around the core concepts of utility and applicability, allowing participants to build the necessary knowledge base that will be useful in their role at an institutional allocator. Upon completion of the program, participants will return to their teams or committees with the knowledge, frameworks, and templates that will have an immediate impact on their effectiveness as investors.

A survey of institutional allocators completed by the Isenberg Consulting Group had found that over 70% of respondents felt that current training resources were either lacking or not appropriately focused on the needs of an allocator.

Alex Ambroz, CEO of the Allocator Training Institute, emphasized, "This program is designed to provide investment teams, investment committees, and boards with the knowledge they need to succeed in their careers and the tools to help their organizations better serve beneficiaries and stakeholders. We are proud to be creating this first-of-its-kind program and this partnership with Institutional Investor."
