  3. Rotating Investment Masterclass I: Liquid Diversifying Solutions to Protect and Grow Capital in Today’s Altered Landscape

    There is an emerging and uneasy discussion amongst investors who sense a major shift in asset allocation will be necessary going forward, driven by negative-yielding bonds and unstable correlations. Lacking, however, have been good solutions, with most relying on tenuous diversification hopes, which worked in the past but may prove deficient going forward. In this presentation, we will suggest a framework to assess the macro environment, highlight pitfalls in traditional diversification programmes, and propose liquid strategies to better grow and protect capital in the “new normal”.

The rise and relevance of alternative investments, including gold is becoming more popular as investors hunt for new both new yield and sources of safety in portfolios. Furthermore, risk and return considerations are also evolving to include impact; in particular around ESG. Join this presentation by The World Gold Council to explore and understand: - The strategic role gold can play in a pension fund portfolio - Gold an alternative investment; and why it stands apart from the broader commodities complex - Gold’s ESG credentials - The outlook for gold against a backdrop of looming inflation and lower interest rates.
