Building portfolios in the current market environment

Gestion des investissements

The return outlook for a diversified portfolio isn’t what it used to be. Ultra-low interest rates and ultra-high risk asset valuations seem to be the new normal. Knowing this, what’s the best way to go about building a portfolio? Our two panelists will address this critical question in detail, at a time when new investment products are being churned out one after the other.

Among the topics that will be touched on:

  • Are we really heading into a future of lower-than-low portfolio returns? If so, what is the root cause?
  • What’s the bigger risk: discouragingly low returns or discouragingly high volatility? How will this impact risk moving forward?
  • If you do have to move further out on the risk curve, what kind of strategies and allocation models can you use to redefine your comfort zone?
  • What do you need to look at when you’re adding a new asset class to your portfolio? And what exactly is an “asset class” anyway?
  • What’s the role played by various factors, alternatives, tactical asset strategies and downside risk mitigation strategies?
