Topics

Over the course of the one day program, discussions will look to include what exactly it is that these solutions can bring to an institutional portfolio, including:

  • How investors differentiate between various types of strategies and the managers that purport to possess the “secret sauce” on everything from smart beta to complex quant-based strategies
  • Which vehicles can smooth out volatility without sacrificing returns; and
  • How investment strategies – whether passive or the most active—complement what is in investors’ portfolios instead of concentrating exposures and risks. 

The program will also look to offer insights into such topics as:

  • How the most sophisticated managers are using the latest technologies to provide truly innovative solutions to investors;
  • Why these technologies will permeate all investment strategies and styles, not just those of quant-based firms; and 
  • How investors identify, assess, and monitor managers in this space, and the appropriate benchmarks and guiding principles of this brave new world of investing.
