We were delighted to host an institutional investor webinar in November with Martin Lueck, Research Director moderating a discussion between Elizabeth Burton, CIO at Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii, Darren Wolf, Global Head of Investments at Aberdeen Standard Investment and Jackie Rosner, Managing Director at PAAMCO Prisma.
The 60/40 balanced portfolio has been the cornerstone and benchmark of institutional portfolios for most of the past 30 years, providing growth, yield, inflation protection and downside protection in one neat package. Not many investors are still around who have first-hand experience of any other environment. But as interest rates test new lows and equity valuations become increasingly stretched and volatile, that immutable go-to portfolio appears less attractive looking forward.
It was our pleasure to host this panel of distinguished industry experts to discuss the outlook for the 60/40 portfolio, what can take the place of this trusty workhorse and what additional tools investors have available.
