In an era of low rates, how can institutional investors meet their return objectives without taking on too much risk? Senior retirement strategist Chris Anast and multi-asset strategist Andrew Bates explain why a more dynamic, flexible approach to asset allocation could help address this challenge.
Key takeaways:
- In a low-rate environment, traditional safe-haven assets may provide less diversification and upside potential in equity-market declines.
- Fixed income strategies that make greater use of duration and yield curve positioning can help investors seek strong returns with meaningful diversification.
- To help meet return targets, consider equity strategies that give managers the flexibility to pursue their best investment ideas across geographic borders.
