This half day event is dedicated to current trends in quantitative global tactical asset allocation. Over the past few years, quantitative strategies comprising GTAA have been facing challenges: unconventional policies of monetary authorities around the world, heightened uncertainty around global growth, ever increasing competitive pressures due to proliferation of generic alpha and risk management frameworks, factor crowding, and an increase in global correlation within liquid asset classes. This program will offer insights from prominent industry practitioners and academics into such topical issues as mitigation of the impact of factor crowding on your global portfolios, adaptation of factor selection to a Risk-On Risk-Off environment, fundamental drivers of currency returns, and drawdown management. Participants will learn about an innovative technique to measure transmission of market shocks across asset classes and assess dynamic exposures to systematic risks.
