This week David Thorpe, contributing editor at Asset Allocator, and Dave Baxter, funds editor on the Investors' Chronicle, are joined by Roger Aliaga-Diaz, global head of portfolio construction at Vanguard.

They discuss the challenges posed to products like Vanguard Lifestrategy by the breaking of the correlation between equities and fixed income, and whether this shift is likely to be permanent or not. They also discuss whether Vanguard would consider moving into the alternatives space and the challenges this poses for investor risk appetites.
