FTSE Russell is a leading global provider of benchmarking, analytics and data solutions for investors, giving them a precise view of the market relevant to their investment process. A comprehensive range of reliable and accurate indexes provides investors worldwide with the tools they require to measure and benchmark markets across asset classes, styles or strategies.

After enjoying the smooth ride for many years, fixed-income investors are suddenly faced with the risks associated with rising interest rates. Despite a rapidly changing fixed-income environment, there is a path forward for bond investors. By using a rules-based investment approach typically employed in active portfolio construction, investors can improve risk-adjusted returns in the fixed-income markets. 
In the following webcast, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Jane Street, and FTSE Russell will outline the risks that fixed-income investors face today and highlight research led bond fund strategies that could help advisors position well for today’s unusual bond market.

Topics will include:

- An overview of the macroeconomic fixed-income outlook.
- A Highlight of Goldman Sachs Access ETFs that track FTSE Goldman Sachs fixed-income indices.
- How a painful repricing in the fixed-income market could clearly benefit specific strategies like short-dated, high-income.
- How a barbell approach could be used to lengthen duration and mitigate risk.
- Considerations for trading Fixed Income ETFs in a dynamic rate environment.

It’s been a bumper decade for venture capital (VC) with steadily rising markets and low-interest rates; perfect ingredients for stellar returns.

• How have sustainable investment indices performed?
• How does this downturn look compared to previous market downturns in the sustainable investment market?

Sustainable Investment in an Uncertain Climate

Following a challenging 2018, markets enjoyed three years of exceptional growth not seen since the late 1990s. Built on a foundation of low interest rates and inflation, growth and momentum were unbeatable factors in this three-year period. Today, in the face of higher and rising interest rates and high inflation, lower volatility and value factors have outperformed. Going forward, which factor will outperform the others?

In 2017, FTSE Russell and Invesco have developed a set of dynamic multi-factor indices. The indices verse as benchmarks to Invesco ETFs, providing investors with a diversified factor approach across equity risk premia factors according to the economic environment and overall financial market conditions.

Please join market experts from Invesco and FTSE Russell as they discuss:
- Overview of the FTSE Invesco Dynamic Multi-factor Index Series and its 5-year performance
- The case for a dynamic, macro-driven approach
- Dynamic multifactor applications and Invesco’s Dynamic Multifactor ETFs

Exploring the potential benefits of a multifactor approach

Pension plans have long been restricted by what they can invest in, but one area in particular is becoming more accessible and will continue to gain attention. As the Founder and President of DCALTA (Defined Contribution Alternatives Association), Jonathan Epstein is perfectly placed to walk us through how investing in alternative investments, such as private equity, is growing and is not looking to slow down anytime soon.

Alternative investing will keep on rising | FTSE Russell Convenes

Investing is all about looking into the future and making calculated risks about what it might look like. An overlooked approach to all of this is to make a calculated guess about what investors will look like in the future; after all, they are the ones who are going to decide what is valuable and what isn’t. For insight into this assertion, we spoke with award-winning financial economist and Dalton McMichael Distinguished Professor of Finance at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, Jennifer Conrad. Watch as she explains not the future of investing, but what we might expect from future investors.
