The Evolved Role of Portable Alpha in Portfolios 2025 | Pensions & Investments | 11 June 2025 | Webinar

The 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) posed significant challenges for Portable Alpha strategies, revealing flaws in correlation assumptions, liquidity management and counterparty risk. This period forced a re-evaluation of the strategy, emphasising the need for robust structures and a deeper understanding of tail dependencies. Now, as major institutional investors and pension funds seek an enhanced return on their capital, Portable Alpha is once again in the limelight. Today’s Portable Alpha strategies have evolved and may benefit from diversification, liquidity reserves, and advancements in technology, making them more efficient and achievable.

In this webinar we will discuss whether Portable Alpha can be a viable strategy for achieving diversification and enhanced returns, provided its inherent risks are managed.

Join us as we cover:
• How the lessons learned from past market events have shaped more resilient and flexible strategies, focusing on mitigating tail risks while leveraging the powerful thesis of combining alpha and beta exposures
• As investors require increasingly efficient ways to enhance returns, Portable Alpha may offer a compelling framework, contingent on careful execution and strategy management
