  • University Dinner: Infrastructure Equity – Outlook in a Rising Rate Environment

    to

    Topical as it is, should infrastructure play a part in investment portfolios, considering the risk of rising rates?  If so, should the exposure be in public or private markets or both?

    A common misconception is that a listed infrastructure investment is more risky than an identical unlisted investment because of the inherent volatility in listed’s daily pricing. This view is disingenuous, as it confuses volatility in pricing with the volatility in cashflow.

    Over Dinner, Richard Elmslie, Co-Founder of RARE, will examine how rising rates will affect the cash flows of utilities and infrastructure assets and what is the outlook for the public and private market infrastructure environment.

  • mallowstreet University Dinner: Infrastructure: An evolution of an asset class

    to

    Infrastructure continues to evolve as an asset class and remains in focus for the future strategy of most long term investors. Niall Mills and Philippe Taillardat, partners in First States European direct Infrastructure Business will talk about various aspects of the opportunity set and the current market place, including a look at the risk and return profile of alternative strategies within direct infrastructure based on 20 years of experience in investing in these assets.

    Niall and Philippe will also talk about the way that value can be created within a core infrastructure portfolio; both of whom are well positioned to give a clear perspective on where the market is and their view on how it might evolve.

    Join us for what is sure to be a lively and relevant discussion.

  • University Workshop - Where next for DC investment strategies?

    to

    The UK pension reforms have provided UK pension savers with significantly greater freedom in determining how to use their accumulated assets, and this has in turn led trustees and scheme governance committees to consider if the default investment strategies and indeed the options made available to underlying members should be changed to reflect the new pension freedoms.

    In addition, with a focus on driving down charges for the accumulation phase and the possible introduction of a charge cap in decumulation, there is a concern that the wider implications of value for money are being lost in the debate.

    This breakfast briefing seeks to understand the implications of the rapidly evolving DC landscape on pension funds. What can pension schemes do to support better outcomes in a charge cap environment? What investment characteristics have the greatest impact upon member outcomes? What role will self-select options and alternative glide paths have in future?
