Equity bull markets run out of steam eventually, plunging investors into periods of volatility. The end of the rally that ran from 2009 to 2019 is no exception. Institutional investors are now negotiating choppy waters with instable markets, a health crisis and a global recession. They face the challenge of investing in equities to achieve their return objectives while respecting risk constraints and managing downside risk from the bouts of volatility that regularly affect markets.
In this week’s podcast, Daniel Morris, senior market strategist, discusses with Julien Halfon, head of pension and corporate solutions, the role risk overlays can play in providing downside protection in equity portfolios and BNP Paribas Asset Management’s innovative approach.
