The traditional multi-asset investment approach seeks to provide investors with diversified sources of return by investing across a variety of asset classes. However, there are risks involved with this investment approach. Correlations between asset classes, for example, can change over time, and a traditional multi-asset portfolio may therefore not provide the initial diversification benefits hoped for. That is why the Invesco Perpetual Multi Asset team believes that the only way to achieve true diversification is to break away from the focus on asset class constraints. Instead, the team focuses on great investment ideas, identifies the best way to invest in them and then combines them into a risk-managed portfolio.

During this webinar, Clive Emery, Multi Asset Product Director at Invesco Perpetual, will cover the following:

*The challenges of multi-asset investing
* Where we believe opportunities lie in today’s market environment
* How an all-weather portfolio can be created by investing in ideas

Joining this webinar will help you understand the challenges of today’s market environment, and how investing in ideas can help provide diversification benefits to a multi-asset portfolio.

“Multi-asset” and “Solutions” have been some of the industry’s biggest buzzwords over the last few years, and for good reason: multi-asset vehicles have generated record sales and clients around the world continue to challenge their providers - both asset and wealth managers - to offer solutions to their problems rather than simply push products.

In this panel discussion, we will dissect what’s driving the recent growth in multi-asset products and what the future holds given the many challenges facing the industry

This webinar will cover topics such as:
* What are the key innovations in the multi-asset arena currently and in the future?
* How can asset and wealth managers partner to ensure clients are receiving the best possible outcomes?
* What role does passive play in the multi-asset arena? Alternatives?
* How do wealth managers evaluate asset managers’ multi-asset products, and what are their unmet needs?

After this webinar, listeners will leave with solid ideas, tactics, and a vision on how to optimize their multi-asset strategy to meet client needs, be on the cutting edge of innovation, and protect and grow their assets and overall business.

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.
