The webinar will cover:
How UK pension regulators have underscored the importance of diversifying collateral to maintain robust liquidity, even under systemic stress scenarios.
We’ve seen a notable uptick in client and consultant interest in our flagship Bonds Plus strategy, which was purpose-built to address these exact challenges.
With credit spreads at historically tight levels and heightened volatility in government bond markets, the current environment is highly favourable for Absolute Return Bond strategies.
This market backdrop presents an ideal opportunity to introduce a strategy that captures returns from both alpha and beta sources.
Our approach is unconstrained across the fixed income universe, enabling us to pursue a cash-plus target wherever the best opportunities arise.

Webinar highlights:
Why this strategy is appealing today: Discover the benefits of our equity replacement vehicle, which uses an innovative approach to growth investing to deliver attractive returns with an asymmetrical return distribution.
Four building blocks: Learn how our strategy utilises simple index exposures to equities, bonds, commodities and cash, to maximise participation in long-term returns.
Strong foundations:
Insight’s macro regime framework: This helps us understand how different asset classes and investments behave in various macroeconomic environments. This knowledge is key to the design of the strategy as it determines the asset classes in the ‘waterfall’.
Insight’s dynamic risk management (DRM) process: This momentum-based strategy manages asset-class exposures, building them when markets are performing well, but cuts exposures when markets turn downwards, which contains drawdowns. The aim is to create a synthetic option-like payoff profile without the upfront cost
The asset allocation is determined quantitatively by the DRM framework, while the macro regime framework serves as a useful cross check that the quant process delivers an asset allocation that is consistent with underlying fundamentals.
Performance benefits: Explore the advantages of good returns, lower drawdown, and quicker recovery.
Insight’s expertise: Benefit from Insight’s 20 years of experience in the field.
