The Investment Innovation Institute’s Equities & Equity Alternatives Forum 2018 was held on 27 – 28 February 2018 at The Intercontinental Hotel in Double Bay. During the forum we took a look at the increasingly popular Crisis Risk Offset or Risk Mitigation model and heard from US pension fund CalSTRS how they implement it in the overall portfolio. We also took a look at internalisation of investment management with AustralianSuper, factor investing with the Future Fund and First State Super and how to take the best approach towards the Chinese equity market.
