BlackRock Breakfast Series for Board Members

BlackRock is launching a series of in-person educational sessions for Danish pension board members. Building on the strong engagement and positive feedback from similar initiatives in the Netherlands and Sweden, the series aims to provide a forum for peer exchange and discussion of key themes shaping the investment landscape.

The series aims to support board-level decision-making by providing perspectives on themes that are increasingly relevant to long-term governance, investment strategy, and risk oversight in a complex and rapidly evolving global environment.

First Session - 24 November 2026

Welcome to our BlackRock Copenhagen office at Harbour House 1, Sundkrogsgade 21, on 24 November, from 08:30–10:00, for the first breakfast presentation in the series.

The current macro situation and geopolitical risks - what does it mean for investors?

The first session will explore how the rapidly evolving investment landscape is being shaped by shifting macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical developments, and a changing policy environment. We will examine the key risks and opportunities arising from these trends and consider their implications for long-term investment outcomes and pension portfolios.

The discussion will focus on four key themes:

• The new macro regime and its implications for returns, inflation, and diversification

• The U.S. post-midterm election policy landscape, including potential implications for growth, trade, regulation, and capital markets

• Geopolitical fragmentation and its impact on investment risks and opportunities

• Structural investment trends and how to build resilient portfolios in an increasingly uncertain world
