SESSION THREE
THE ROAD TO HELL... IS PAVED WITH HIGH YIELD
Valuations are high, interest rates are low, but investors still expect growth and income. The pious will call for reducing return expectations, which will close part of the gap, but can our clients survive on these lower yields?
As advisers, we have been pitched a broad array of solutions, but all likely involve taking on some form of additional risk. Perhaps the road to capital destruction is paved with chasing returns?
Should we simply stay the course and stick broadly with balanced portfolios, or is the 60/40 portfolio ‘doomed’ as some now suggest? Speakers in this session will share their perspectives on how we should achieve a balance between lower return expectations and extracting higher yields.

BLENDING ART AND SCIENCE IN INVESTMENT COMMITTEES
