The association began with 20 corporate pensions and 20 asset managers from the US and Canada. Over the last three decades, 20-20 has evolved into a truly global organization with members representing a wide variety of financial institutions from all corners of the globe.
"20-20 stands apart not only for the quality of its insights but also for its distinctive delivery. A highly informed member base—comprised of seasoned emerging markets professionals—offers both personal and professional perspectives, bridging historical context with real-time analysis. As a single-country fund manager, we find 20-20 indispensable in framing our market within the broader evolution of global capital flows."
“In a constantly changing world, it’s even more important today to understand how new growth markets function. 20-20 Investment Association brings senior representatives from leading institutional investors around the world to the information sources in key global markets. We have been investors in global growth markets for over three decades and I can emphatically state that no other organization delivers high-level face-to-face engagements with key decision-makers in global emerging growth markets better than 20-20.”
"Despite our shrinking globe, the act of prospecting for new market intelligence and strong multinational bonds remains a daunting task for institutional investors and asset managers. The 20-20 Association combines outreach, research and relationships into a unique format that fills the brain and soul simultaneously. Their exploratory field trips into frontier and emerging markets come with demanding itineraries, robust agendas of thought leadership, active participation, and ultimately a few meaningful conversations and connections that stick for a lifetime. In today’s environment, it’s rare to find such true and unvarnished access to global leadership, frontier markets and compelling ideas."
