Despite the accepted fact that a substantial part of the risk and return of any portfolio comes from asset allocation, we find today that the majority of investment professionals worldwide are focused on security selection. Multi-Asset Investing: A Practitioner’s Framework questions this basic structure of the investment process and investment industry.

  • Who says we have to separate alpha and beta?
  • Are the traditional definitions for risk and risk premium relevant in a multi-asset class world?
  • Do portfolios cater for the ‘real risks’ in their investment processes?
  • Does the whole Emerging Markets demarcation make sense for investing?
  • Why do active Asian managers perform much poorer compared to developed market managers?
  • Can you distinguish how much of a strategy’s performance comes from skill rather than luck?
  • Does having a performance fee for your manager create alignment or misalignment?
  • Why is the asset management transitioning from multi-asset strategies to multi-asset solutions?

These and many other questions are asked, and suggestions provided as potential solutions. Having worked together for fifteen years, the authors’ present implementable solutions which have helped them successfully manage large asset pools.
