AII EDITORIAL COMMITTEE

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO OUR MISSION!
The Editorial Content Committee help set the direction and develop the cutting-edge timely topics and themes for all
programming. The Committee assists the Academy in the recruitment of speakers, drives the development of the content,
helps select the manager members and acts as an informal advisory board and strategic resource. Our goal as a committee is
to keep the investment community abreast of industry practices on a “real-time” basis and to sharpen the understanding of
critical factors impacting long-term investment ideas leading to better returns. Academy for Institutional Investors (AII) helps
allocators to make more informed portfolio decisions by connecting them in-person with their peers from similar institutions.
Members can always speak candidly because we prohibit the press from attending our programs allowing asset owners and the
speaker faculty to share confidential information while on stage or leading small groups. Editorial Committee Members do their
best to participate in at least one Academy forum each year.

The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization
(Final Topic will be decided as we get closer to the Fall Forum)
Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist, which is a fancy way of saying he helps people understand how the world works.
Peter combines an expert understanding of demography, economics, energy, politics, technology, and security to help
clients best prepare for an uncertain future. Over the course of his career, Peter has worked for the US State Department
in Australia, the DC think tank community, and helped develop the analytical models for Stratfor, one of the world’s premier
private intelligence companies. Peter founded his own firm — Zeihan on Geopolitics — in 2012 in order to provide a select
group of clients with direct, custom analytical products. Today those clients represent a vast array of sectors including
energy majors, financial institutions, business associations, agricultural interests, universities and the U.S. military. With a
keen eye toward what will drive tomorrow’s headlines, his irreverent approach transforms topics that are normally dense
and heavy into accessible, relevant takeaways for audiences of all types. Peter is a critically-acclaimed author whose first
two books — The Accidental Superpower and The Absent Superpower — have been recommended by Mitt Romney, Fareed
Zakaria and Ian Bremmer. His latest third title, Disunited Nations: The Scramble for Power in an Ungoverned World became
available in March 2020. Peter’s fourth book, The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of
Globalization, became available in June 2022.

ABOUT THE ACADEMY FOR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS (AII)
Academy for Institutional Investors, LLC (AII) is a boutique, woman owned, non-commercial
educational investment conference provider offering intimate roundtable discussions (The
Academy’s Allocator Investment Huddles) and mid-sized member forums (Fall & Spring Forums)
for senior investment decision-makers from leading endowments, foundations, pension funds,
healthcare, insurance, single family offices (SFOs), multi-family offices (MFOs), OCIOs,
consultants, asset management firms and other financial institutions. The Investment Institute
(TII) was originally founded in 2008 specifically to educate institutional investors and managers
in North Carolina as well as the surrounding southeastern states. In 2016, TII expanded to
include allocators and managers from around the country, while still maintaining a strong
emphasis on the southeast where our roots were formed. In March of 2021, Andrea Szigethy
decided to re-brand TII to a new name Academy for Institutional Investors (AII). The Academy
features some of the most well-known experts, leading asset owners, as well as policy makers,
Andrea Szigethy economists, research strategists, leadership authorities, money managers and some of the
Founder, CEO & President most prominent institutional investors from around the country bringing them together for
Academy for Institutional face-to-face conversations and debates in unique venues in the Southeast. The programs cover
complex issues surrounding the financial industry and the speaker faculty analyzes risk while
Investors, LLC
revealing many opportunities in the current market environment. A hallmark of the Academy
is that the number of allocators who attend will always surpass the number of managers at
each program. Exchanging information and “trading notes” with one another at our allocator
breakfast discussions, truly sets the Academy apart from other conference organizations. (AII)
limits attendance at our Fall & Spring Member Forums, to less than 250 participants to enable
members to meet everyone while sharing their intellectual knowledge with one another.

audiences. Andrea has decades of experience helping her clients to strengthen bonds with one another in a relaxed, friendly, non-sales type of
atmosphere, fostering an environment to learn and connect in a way that promotes lifelong relationships, trust and friendship among one
another. To Andrea the most fulfilling part of her career has been to connect investment professionals together on a much more “human-level”
enabling work colleagues to become dear friends to feel more comfortable doing business together. High-caliber investment education, sophisticated
investor attendees and in-depth fun networking are the key components of The Academy’s mission. At the end of every event, you will leave with a
head full of new ideas and a handful of new friends that will feel like your extended family year after year. Academy for Institutional Investors offers
new members into our circle of family friends at each event while striving to keep the community to a small niche group of sophisticated investors
with a limited number of managers and service providers. Previously, Andrea was the Founder of The Investment Institute (TII) in 2008 (today it is
rebranded to the Academy for Institutional Investors (AII). Andrea also spent many years as a Partner and Director of Marketing and Branding for
