Navigating the proliferation of approaches
Our experts debated the following issues:- Have multi-asset solutions lived up to expectations? Is there enough of a track record to judge performance?
- How resilient are current multi-asset strategies to potential market shocks and macro events and how dynamic should they be to mitigate these risks?
- Are some multi-asset strategies too equities-biased and is correlation between asset classes a risk? How can multi-asset strategies address this?
- What is the best way to allocate to multi-asset funds: by asset class or by risk?
- How do multi asset strategies fit into DC scheme design with the charge cap and the pension freedoms now in place?
