Since 2009, Ellen Griggs has served on many boards, including those of Boston Medical Center and InvestorForce in Pennsylvania. As a respected professional in the investment industry, Ellen Griggs served as a speaker during the 2006 Milken Institute Global Conference.

The Milken Institute Global Conference is an annual event that convenes world leaders in different industries to explore solutions to some of the most critical problems in financial markets, health, education, and government. As a speaker in 2006, Griggs talked about trends in global fixed-income and credit markets.

At the time of the conference, investors in these markets were facing strong market growths. This begged the question, where should they invest their money? During her speech, Griggs spoke about asset allocation. With traditional diversification techniques becoming obsolete, she advised investors to look at the bigger picture. This means that they should analyze and manage their liabilities, and provide managers with more freedom to generate alpha.
