PortfolioConstruction conference: Darwin and Freud
Are financial markets just a conglomeration of human herd instincts and hugely inflated egos? Or do they truly reflect company profits, the real economy and offer a quantifiable risk premium over cash?
At this year’s PortfolioConstruction Conference (August 27-28), UK-based James Fairweather, chief investment officer for Martin Currie Investment Management, will show that the volatility of markets suggests that, at least in the short tem, the former is true, and that market returns make the economic cycle look serene by comparison.
In the longer term, fundamentals come to the fore, but in the long run, we are all dead.
He’ll ask and answer the question: ‘How do we build a process and philosophy to help us beat the market?’
Research papers from the PortfolioConstruction Conference will be available in the August edition of Money Management’s Technical Adviser.
Now in its seventh year, PortfolioConstruction Conference has earned a reputation as the investment conference of the year. To register, go to http://www.PortfolioConstruction.com.au/Conference
