The 14th Annual AIMA Canada Debate
The 14th Annual AIMA Canada Debate
Does Size Matter?
Be it Resolved: Large Managers are a Better Investment than Small Managers
On one end of the spectrum, a manager's AUM can be the crucial achilles' heel, while for others it can be a critical strength and upper hand in comparison to peers.
Our two adversaries will put forth arguments that the size of a manager plays an influential role in the manager's overall success. Some may say smaller managers are quick, nimble and innately innovative while others might argue that large managers can provide experienced knowledge, strong infrastructure and stability.
Join us and provide your vote for your favoured adversary during a lively debate and luncheon at the historic National Club.
