Portfolio Construction 2.0 - Factors at the Core Sep 10 2019 1:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Michael Hunstad and Jordan Dekhayser, Northern Trust Asset Management; Brendan Maton, IPECurrent macroeconomic circumstances combined with exceptional asset performance over the past decade are lowering return expectations going forward. This context will make it challenging for pension funds, insurance companies and other liabilities managers to achieve their returns objectives with a traditional core/satellite approach.
Join our webinar where Michael Hunstad, PhD, Head of Quantitative Strategies and Jordan Dekhayser, CFA, Head of Quantitative Equity Research and Strategy will explore the following three topics that take another look at portfolio construction:
- Factors at the Core
Efficiently designed factor-based strategies are ideal for the core of a portfolio because they may provide higher returns than a pure passive portfolio for a modest amount of active risk, resulting in a considerably higher information ratio.
- The Tracking Error Challenge
Calibrating tracking error is crucial to target higher returns while mitigating the probability of underperformance. Staying disciplined during inevitable cyclical drawdowns is harder than it sounds but well worth it in the long run.
- Multi-Factor Portfolios
Because style factors are prone to sustained periods of underperformance, combining different factors that are unique drivers of return can help smooth down the cycles. We will look at the most efficient multi-factor strategies and how they help meet investors’ specific objectives.

Institutional Webinar: Strengthening Your Portfolio Core Aug 21 2019 2:00 pm UTC 60 mins
Michael Hunstad, PhD, Head of Quantitative Strategies, and Jordan Dekhayser, CFA, Head of Quantitative Equity ResearchThere have been more than 48 large volatility shocks since 2007*, and this pattern is unlikely to change. Institutions around the globe are finding themselves in a unique market environment as a result of seismic shifts in market fundamentals, central banks lowering interest rates and questionable quantitative easing programs. Government agencies continue to use these levers in a manner that is unsustainable – making volatility more prevalent and unpredictable than ever before.
Join Michael Hunstad, Ph.D., Head of Quantitative Strategies and Jordan Dekhayser, CFA, Head of Quantitative Equity Research and Strategy, as they discuss key approaches to help capitalize on the new age of portfolio risks:
• Uncover the common pitfalls in traditional portfolio de-risking methods
• What to look for in low volatility investment strategies (spoiler alert, it’s not just lower beta exposures)
• Potential changes to your passive core portfolio that will strengthen your active satellite
*Volatilty shocks greater than 5 points. Volatility increases are represented by any increase in the VIX daily, as of December 31, 2018.
