Key Discussion Topics
ALTERNATIVE BETA: OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIVERSIFYING
RETURNS
Defining "Alternative Beta" and the potential diversification
benefits it can bring to an investor's portfolio through persistent return
streams that are uncorrelated to equity and fixed-income beta. What
distinguishes these strategies from "Beta" and "Alpha."
ESG INTEGRATION
The
panel explores how investors are assessing ESG’s longer-term material impacts
and how they are positioning their portfolios to avoid these potential risks.
EVOLUTION OF EMERGING
MARKETS EQUITIES
Over the past two decades, investment in emerging market equities has been
vexing. Return patterns have oscillated, while opportunity sets and challenges
have been ever-changing. The question remains: what factors should
investors consider when debating whether to allocate to or diversify within the
asset class?
SEEKING ALPHA
REQUIRES LEFT AND RIGHT BRAINS
Are Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) threats or
opportunities for investment managers seeking alpha? With the help of both the
left (logical) and right (empathetic) hemispheres of one’s brain, an investor
is better prepared to anticipate and deal with unexpected market fluctuations
and achieve greater financial return.
