Ever-changing short-term market conditions and compounded uncertainty over the long term have required asset owners to deploy increasingly innovative fund-management strategies. Transitory shifts have challenged them to hunt for yield across geographies and asset classes, though in a manner aligned with investment values and fiduciary responsibilities. Given current market conditions, where traditional asset allocation approaches may be obsolete for long-term investors, how are asset owners rethinking asset- allocation and investment strategies? Are there investment areas that may be better adapted to weather global health pandemics, climate change, geopolitical tensions, and other disruptions?
