Principal Investor Perspectives discusses global risk assets and takes a deep dive into the hedge fund space
The third issue of the quarterly Principal Investor Perspectives publication examines the benign global macroeconomic environment, the bull market in risk assets and the Japanese economy. The publication also explores the role of hedge funds as an asset class that can provide uncorrelated and complementary sources of return even when traditional market betas fail to deliver.
The Principal Investor Perspectives series highlights the latest developments in the global economy, financial markets and the political arena – sharing market views and compelling investment insights from the perspective of a principal investor.
The latest issue looks at the current state of the bull market in global risk assets and asks whether recent changes in market structure can extend the rally even further. In addition, it turns the spotlight on Japan, where the political landscape has shifted lately, potentially with far-reaching macroeconomic implications.
This edition also takes a closer look at hedge funds – an asset class that is at the forefront of new investment techniques and the exploration of new markets and data sources. It discusses the benefits that these highly flexible strategies can bring to a traditional portfolio and illustrates how LGT Capital Partners handles the complexity associated with investing in the space for the LGT Endowment.
