Asset Allocation and Macroeconomic Outlook
In our opening session, panelists will discuss current market conditions and assess the macroeconomic outlook, including how an increasingly aggressive tightening program by the Fed could impact inflation, economic growth and the trajectory of markets.
What Path to Take in China?
From geopolitical risk to regulatory crackdowns to real estate issues, Chinese equities have grabbed a lot of headlines recently, but are investors truly getting the whole picture of what exactly “Chinese Equities” are and how to access them?
Public and Private Opportunistic Alternative Investing
Alternative asset investing has become mainstream. Given the
role of COVID-19, investor risk appetite for both publicly traded as well as
private sector debt and equity is larger than ever.
Effectively Integrating and Managing Sustainable Risks in
Portfolios
This discussion will focus on how a practical application of
sustainability can complement traditional fundamental analysis, ultimately
helping improve stock picking and portfolio construction.
Growth vs. Value: Why It’s Time to Think Outside the
Style Box
Value stocks have massively underperformed growth over the
past decade. While the trend may be poised to reverse, long droughts and sharp
reversals in individual styles raise the question: Might equity portfolios be
more robust if they were not entirely beholden to swings in growth and value
returns?
From Golden Age to ‘Return-Free Risk’
The golden age of fixed income is over. COVID-19 fueled bond
divestment into a liquidity crunch, not to mention price dislocation---even for
the U.S. Treasury market.
Did COVID-19 Help or Hurt Active Management?
The decade of 2009 through 2019 coincided with the
longest-ever Bull Market: the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached 28,000,
Netflix returned 4,000 percent and indexing outperformed active management. But
the March 2020 stock market crash and COVID-19 global economic recession led to
a substantial—though uneven—rebound.
Leadership Roundtable – Navigating the Aftermath of
COVID-19
Being an institutional investor has never been a cakewalk.
But the stress, as well as complex risk profile of each person’s investment
role, have both turned monumental in the wake of COVID-19. In addition to asset allocation and portfolio
management, stakeholder demand, member anxiety and staff wellbeing all take on
renewed significance.
