Elevating women in the finance sector
11:30 am -1:00 pm MT
As capital markets continue to evolve, alternative investments are playing an increasingly central role in portfolio construction, risk management, and long-term value creation.
This session explores the key alternative investing strategies shaping 2026, including a view to the complexity, volatility and opportunity in which institutional and private capital allocators are currently navigating in a changing market environment.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience across pension consulting, investment banking, M&A, and alternative investments, this session will be led by Allison Taylor, CEO and co-founder of Invico Capital Corporation, a nationally recognized leader in alternative asset management.
Allison will share practical insights into emerging trends across private credit, real assets, and structured solutions.
In addition to the investment discussion, Allison will reflect on her highly accomplished leadership journey. Recognized as CEO of the Year and named twice to the Women’s Executive Network Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada, Allison will offer candid perspectives on leadership, decision-making in uncertainty, and what it takes to build enduring organizations in financial services.
This session is ideal for women seeking strategic insight in alternative asset management and real-world leadership lessons.
