On August 6, 2024, the AIF Institute was honored to host UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves in New York City as part of its investment policymakers’ series. The Chancellor exchanged views with representatives of about a dozen of the world’s largest asset owners and managers. ? The Chancellor brought with her the new UK government’s message that is keen to develop policy in partnership with business, that economic growth is one of its top priorities and that it wants the financial community to feel that the UK is a great place in which to invest.
