CAIA Netherlands Educational Event 

Alternative Viewpoints on Asset Allocation

9 December

Asset Allocation, arguably the most important driver of returns of any investment portfolio. But surely not all investors are created equal. This CAIA educational event on asset allocation explores three different approaches seasoned practitioners take in this field. We have lined up for you:

The Risk Manager

Adina Grigoriu explains why the focus should be on risk management and why being in control of downside risk enhances the likelihood of achieving your investment objectives

The Return Seeker

Gerlof de Vrij explains how Blenheim Capital uses dynamic asset allocation to capitalize on the future drivers of return

The Technologist

Jakob Palmstierna will discuss how 2Sigma uses their technology platform and big data to abstract valuable information that gives them the advantage in asset allocation

The Moderator

The evening and panel discussion will be moderated by Aegon’s European Head of Tactical Asset Allocation, Olaf van de Heuvel.
