It’s no secret that allocators have been turning more and more toward alternative structures to meet return expectations in an increasingly low-return world. P&I’s Alternatives Investing conference series will address how investors can achieve greater returns while insulating their portfolio against increased risks by discussing the totality of portfolio construction from asset allocation to benchmarking. The series will help attendees identify ways to better manage the risks and identify the opportunities that these vehicles can present. Join us to hear from experts sharing the latest information regarding the use of alternatives in an institutional portfolio.
