PortfolioConstruction Conference: asset allocation
The value of a sound asset allocation process has long been assumed as a no-brainer, or ignored altogether.
But suddenly asset allocation has everyone’s attention again.
At this year’s one-day, pre-Conference Asset Allocation Masterclass (August 26), we’ll focus on a reliable approach to forecasting long-term returns from markets and look at the key assumptions that should drive your investment strategy going forward — including whether the commodities boom is sound, what it means for the developing nations, and the impact of the global credit crisis and rising inflation — and finally, what actions we should be taking in our clients’ portfolios, as a result.
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
