mallowstreet University Dinner: Global Risk Premia
to
Historically, risk-free interest has accounted for a significant part of investors' total returns. Exposure to risk premia (betas) and the attainment of alpha has played a secondary role. Today however, low or even no yields mean risk-free investing doesn’t generate the same level of returns. Alpha is not scalable, and fluctuates. Investors must increase the level of risk in their portfolios in order to close the yield gap.

mallowstreet University Dinner: The Governance Gap – Implementation Matters
to
Governing UK pension plans effectively is becoming an ever greater challenge as they continue to utilise increasingly sophisticated investment techniques in response to meeting the needs of a maturing industry. Our analysis of recent research conducted with both Finance Directors and Trustees suggests that whilst good progress appears to have been made on plan strategy, there is still progress to be made in the important aspects of effective implementation and communication.
