Amid the recent market turbulence, how can investment managers focus on the most important job of responsibly managing the wealth entrusted to their care and avoid being swayed by economic forecasts and market volatility?

This webinar takes a closer look at what investment managers can realistically and confidently take a view on, such as;

* the extent to which events can change the valuation of assets
* the relative attractions of the myriad asset classes available to multi-asset investors
* the likelihood of achieving decent returns from those assets in the context of the market cycle.

The popularity of alternative risk premia (ARP) is growing and strategies that focus on ARP are increasingly being incorporated into portfolios. The attraction of this approach is that ARP can mimic strategies that have historically only been available through hedge fund vehicles, but with more favourable liquidity and cost characteristics, whilst retaining a low correlation to traditional equities and bonds.

In multi-asset investing the search for non-correlated returns leads to Alternative Risk Premia. Key topics that will be covered in this session include:

* What benefits do alternative risk premia (ARP) bring to a multi-asset portfolio?
* How can investors construct a portfolio that is diversified to weather key macroeconomic regimes?
* How can dynamic allocation in the alternative risk premia universe be used to manage downside risk?

Joining this webinar will help you to understand how alternative risk premia strategies can help provide diversification benefits to your multi-asset portfolios as well as providing you with the knowledge to better understand how to differentiate between the various risk premia strategies available and to select the ones most appropriate for your needs.
