About this talk

Practical Insights on the Rise of Transparency Considerations in Asset Allocation Investor priorities have shifted since the 2008 financial crisis, but one trend is clear: transparency has become paramount. As investor appetite for non-correlated assets grows apace, the volume and complexity of alternatives in their portfolios is burgeoning. In order to obtain a level of transparency similar to that available for their traditional long-only investments, they need to overcome the challenges of monitoring, valuing and reporting on this comparatively opaque and illiquid asset class. The webcast will: • Review the key findings from Northern Trust/Economist Intelligence Unit’s recent survey of 200 asset managers and institutional investors on the rise of transparency considerations in asset allocation • Share examples of how investors and managers are managing these considerations • Explore the role of data in the management process and discuss who ultimately takes responsibility for transparency Presented by: • Mark Austin, Head of UK Institutional Investor Group at Northern Trust • Stuart Lawson, Alternatives Global Product Manager at Northern Trust • Hamish Mair BSc, MBA, ASIP, Director and Head of Private Equity, BMO Global Asset Management Moderator: • Brendan Maton, IPE
