Investing amid low expected returns

Wednesday 30 November 2022 | 18:30 - 19:30 | Evening Event

Please note, this is an in-person event.

In this session, Antti Ilmanen shares key insights from his latest book Investing Amid Low Expected Returns: Making the Most When Markets Offer the Least. The book delivers a timeless and timely treatment of strategic investment processes in times of low expected returns.

Antti will explain how the decades-long fall in required returns in all major asset classes has given great tailwinds until now, but promises headwinds, slow pain or fast pain, for the future. He will further discuss common investor responses to this low expected return challenge.

After reviewing the bleak outlook, Antti provides some constructive answers. He will summarise the key building blocks to long-run returns, as well as efficient ways of putting the pieces together into a portfolio including:

• Major asset class premia
• Illiquidity premia
• Style premia
• Alpha premia
