CIOs and strategists are constantly challenged in a complex environment influenced by global macro trends, which may be aptly summarised as the 6 D’s:
- Deglobalisation & Geopolitics
- Decarbonisation & Energy Transition
- Digitisation & Technological Disruption
- Debt & Government Deficit
- Demographics & Ageing Populations
- ‘De-bankification’ and Dynamics of Direct Lending
How do these impact growth, inflation, rates and valuations in the short and long term? Can there be a simple solution to such complex and interconnected issues? How can the investor inject more dynamism into the portfolio, with active strategies anchored by a robust governance framework?
The 12th annual Asset Allocation Forum focused on how Chief Investment Officers and Senior Strategists approach all facets of portfolio construction – from governance, to asset allocation, to implementation; complemented by strong execution, risk management and responsible investment practices.
