Your choice of break-out sessions, please select 3 out of 4 options:
1. Time to deepen diversification
Institutional investors have long recognized that diversification is an essential part of investing for the long-term. Many may believe that portfolios are adequately diversified, even if they lack certain specialised asset classes. In this session, we will look at how investors can navigate the current regime through multi asset investing.

2. “Investing for the End Game”
As Defined Benefit scheme funding levels improve and there is a sharper focus on the End Game, how can pension schemes set their investment strategy in order to meet their End Game ambitions – from hedging, to cashflow matching, to accessing alternative sources of income and becoming self-sufficient and/or “buyout aware”?

3. Unlocking private markets
Unlisted investments could be the key to building outcome-based portfolios. By offering robust return potential and effective portfolio diversification, private markets assets offer a powerful means to help achieve investor goals. In this session, we will explore the asset class and identify key opportunities in this space.
