About this webinar:
Covid-19 is leading to an increased focus by trustees on scheme investments, especially where funding levels have fallen significantly, and a number are looking at making or increasing allocations to alternatives in a bid to improve yields or access different sorts of income streams.
This webinar will take a look at a number of such strategies and assess the benefits of including such investments in a scheme portfolio.
It will also examine some of the concerns around some alternatives, such as liquidity, speed of deployment, market overcrowding, and the role of ESG where appropriate.
It will additionally look at how alternatives have been impacted by Covid-19 and assess the outlook for the future.
