Navigating market volatility while finding opportunities

Build resilient portfolios

Managing frequent bouts of market volatility is crucial for pension funds, insurers and all institutional investors in order to avoid a negative impact on future returns, funding levels or solvency ratios.

Capitalise on long-term horizons

For investors with very long-term horizons or long-term liabilities, accessing less liquid assets can provide effective diversification and inflation protection.

Add portfolio ballast

Diversify risk by allocating to alternative investment strategies, and by considering investing in markets with a lower correlation to developed market stocks and bonds.

Rebalance portfolios

Rebalancing consistently (while avoiding excessive transaction costs) can lead to superior results compared to allowing portfolio allocations to drift—even through periods of market volatility.
