The world continues to grapple with overlapping forces spanning US-centric policies, global geopolitical tensions, the race for tech leadership, energy (in)security, and more. Amid these dynamics, investors strive to find assets, markets and themes that can deliver effective diversification as the crux of asset allocation for today’s new era.
An exclusive briefing hosted by FinanceAsia and FTSE Russell in Hong Kong provided an opportunity for investors to rethink asset allocation in a higher-for-longer world. Industry specialists from FTSE Russell along with investment and market professionals discussed how asset allocators can leverage index strategies to capitalise on the new macro regime defining today's investment landscape.
ECM proceeds have climbed almost 30% up until September 27, when compared to the same time last year; as a result the HKEX is fifth on the global stock exchange rankings.
As investors continue to seek resilient and diversified sources of return in a world defined by macro and geopolitical uncertainty, index strategies can offer an effective way to express a specific view. Vehicles such as tracker funds, ETFs, derivatives and structured products are then able to translate it into actionable portfolio decisions. But which assets, sectors and geographies have the potential to offer the kind of risk-adjusted returns that investors are looking for longer term?
An exclusive briefing hosted by FinanceAsia and FTSE Russell in Singapore explored how index solutions can be powerful tools for investors seeking risk-adjusted returns amidst dynamic and unpredictable markets. Hear from FTSE Russell and other industry experts as they look at global opportunities across Asean, the Middle East, the US, as well as alternatives such as digital assets via index-linked products, and how they fit in a global portfolio.
