Seminars


Over the past several years, a central challenge facing asset owners has been to find alternative returns streams that boost portfolio performance while controlling equity risk. These efforts have left many investors disappointed, as diversification from equity risk hasn’t been demonstrably rewarded. Here, we examine how the economic and policy environment has shaped the investment opportunity set in recent years and, in advocating renewed commitment to diversification, we confront key challenges in its implementation.
