This is an invite-only lunchtime roundtable discussion.
If reserve managers were operating in a perfect world today, would reserve portfolios have a different composition? Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) traditionally focuses on long-term diversification, return optimisation and risk mitigation. Could it be unconstrained by liquidity pressures, geopolitical risks, sanctions risk, or market distortion. In reality, reserve managers must constantly balance today’s constraints not only through the traditional trinity of safety, liquidity and return but rather to demonstrate safety, liquidity, and resilience.
This invite-only roundtable will explore how reserve managers are rethinking Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) and the role of Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA) in a more uncertain global environment. What would reserve portfolios have looked like in an unconstrained world relative to the practical and recalibrated approaches reserve managers are considering today?
