This conference explores the implications of Your Future Your Super on asset allocation strategies of superannuation funds. We also discuss the role of asset allocation for long horizon investors (i.e. superannuation funds) and how it may differ from traditional short term investment strategies.
Fixed income’s role in the asset allocation process is changing with the rise in interest rates and inflation is also discussed.

ESG investing is becoming an increasingly important factor is asset allocation and we examine the impacts this may have.
The trade off between risk and return is a key factor in asset allocation decisions and the is viewed from a number of different perspectives throughout the conference.
