On a Knife’s Edge: Balancing local and global multi asset investments for your clients

Another Future Focus Webinar

Multi asset class solutions have long been the product of choice for financial advisers. Today, however, there is more pressure than ever to increase global exposure in order to drive client returns and diversify risk.

With interest rate volatility, inflationary pressures, and political uncertainty, do global portfolios still make sense for your clients? What is the right level of exposure and what kind of mix should you offer investors? After all, we still need to survive in the present even as we prepare for the future.

This INN8 Invest webinar discusses these issues from different perspectives. We look at the options available to advisers as we discuss the topic with asset managers and fellow financial advisers to gain perspectives that can help you better advise your clients.

In June 2024, INN8 Invest Head of IFA and Global Distribution, Andrew Cormack, will host two discussions.

The first is with Ninety One portfolio manager, Sumesh Chetty, M&G portfolio manager, Sandile Malinga, and STANLIB’s Head of Multi-Strategy, Marious Oberholzer to discuss the topic from an asset manager’s point of view. This will be followed by an adviser-focused discussion with Peter Hewett and Stephen Best.

INN8 Invest portfolio manager, Sonal Bhagwan, kicks off the session with a short portfolio performance review.
