In previous podcasts in this series, we explored how the consolidation of capital flows and migration up the risk-return spectrum by institutional investors contributes to systematic risk. In this podcast, we explore the potential for institutional asset owners and allocators to redesign their asset allocation strategies to allow for more regenerative investment structures while still achieving targeted rates of return. We will also explore adjustments to investment practices that can enable a redesign of asset allocation, including benchmarking practices, team incentives and performance reviews, valuation methodologies, and risk management techniques.
