2022 Global Market Outlook: Continuing the Climb
While the world maintains its focus on the battle against Covid-19, there are reasons for optimism in the months ahead. But as we move past peak growth and peak policy accommodation, many risks to this outlook remain.
As we continue the climb out of the pandemic-driven humanitarian and economic crisis, other urgent issues are also returning to the fore. The search for yield in a low-rate environment remains a key challenge for investors. And the climate crisis – arguably the defining problem of our era – looms large as well.
A Robust Approach to Measuring Risk Parity
Risk Parity strategies, and therefore managers of those strategies, are notoriously difficult to benchmark. This difficulty stems from Risk Parity’s inherently dynamic nature -ascribing equal-weight allocations to assets according to their underlying risk characteristics with the goal of generating relatively consistent performance over time across different inflation- and growth-related economic regimes. In this webinar, we will present a robust approach for evaluating whether a Risk Parity allocation is meeting this goal and, importantly, if a manager is demonstrating skill-based value-add. We will seek to identify the asset classes and approaches commonly used by Risk Parity managers, and provide insight on how managers have fared versus suitably designed broad-market portfolios.
Key questions that we will explore are:
- What is Risk Parity and why have an allocation to it?
- What is buried in a Risk Parity allocation? What markets are used, how often do asset weights change and how is leverage incorporated?
- How can investors approach benchmarking a Risk Parity allocation?
- How have managers performed? Have they generated genuine alpha or can performance be explained by market betas or other factors?
- What alternatives exist for approaching Risk Parity at the portfolio level?
Macro-Tilted Equity Indices: Protecting your Equity Portfolio against Inflation and other Macro Surprises
For investors seeking exposure to non-rewarded risk factors, such as macroeconomic factors, Scientific Beta is offering a new suite of macro indices designed to capture the equity risk premium with additional exposure to unexpected shocks or the surprises of targeted macro factors.
In this webinar, we will present Scientific Beta’s equity inflation indices, the first in a series of macroeconomic factor indices that provide long-term equity performance with additional inflation protection compared to a traditional cap-weighted equity index. Their high liquidity makes them ideal candidates as a replacement of cap-weighted indices in a multi-asset portfolio. We will also present equity indices targeting further macro variables (interest rates, term spread, credit spread).
