Portfolio Construction Forum 2011

For a long time, practitioners could devote themselves to company financials and valuations, with ‘set and forget’ asset allocation models. But then along came the biggest macro economic shock in more than a generation – suddenly, macro mattered and the challenge was to position portfolios around the world’s macro economic risks and opportunities.

Now the challenge (and opportunity) is to combine these two ways of thinking – to position portfolios to benefit from positive long-term macro opportunities while avoiding the macro risks that might derail portfolios in the shorter term AND then carefully select securities in which to invest.

Conference 2011 will help you better understand the key macro AND micro issues and what they mean for investor portfolios – so you can successfully navigate through the woods AND the trees.
