About this talk

As market volatility, geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty continue to shake global markets, it’s critical for institutional investors to re-evaluate their risk positioning. This means running portfolios as risk-efficient as possible and mitigating the “hidden risks” that commonly exist in their portfolios. Join our experts as they reveal a more precise approach to portfolio construction that leverages both targeted factor exposures and ESG research. Key discussion points include: • The factors that stand to benefit from the structural shifts in the global economy and increased market volatility. • How ESG research can complement factor exposure to increase excess return consistency and mitigate downside risk. • Implementing a risk-aware approach that minimizes unintended risk and seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
