Strategic Asset Allocation Symposium 2018 | Institutional Investor Institute | 26 September 2018 | InterContinental Toronto Yorkville, 220 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M5S 1T8, Canada

It is safe to say that investing today does not look like it did 70 years ago. Asset allocators can no longer rely on the traditional construction methods to build portfolios and the once mainstay 60/40 model. Moreover, it is necessary to think beyond liquidity and valuations and get ahead of the new forces driving global asset allocations today including, rising geopolitical tensions, digital disruption, climate risk and demographic shifts.
