Systemic risk will continue to have a heavy influence on 2012 investment performance, making the pursuit of relative value and long-term drivers of return a challenging proposition. My Knepp’s presentation will focus on GFAM’s fundamental view of secular and tactical opportunities, and the reality of incorporating such opportunities within portfolios given ongoing market volatility. Topics that will be covered include:
- Key macroeconomic drivers likely to have a persistent impact on capital market performance
- A practitioner’s view of risk-managed portfolio construction
- The use of alternative and unconstrained mandates in the pursuit of better diversification
