In this week’s episode, we chat to Steve Hodder, Partner at LCP, on reimagining your portfolio.  Before we interview Steve, Laasya talks to Surendra Ravikumar, Analyst at LCP, on his new blog looking at deflation as a systemic risk and what the impact could be on defined benefit pension schemes. 

With Steve we discuss:

  • The big trends that are impacting global economies and markets, and which megatrends he’s been focusing on recently.
  • Asset and liability models, and why they’re starting to “creak” when it comes to setting asset allocations.
  • Alternative ways investors can assess their current portfolios to understand the exposures they have to the big megatrends.
  • What asset allocation 2.0 could look like, which aims to move away from a reliance on assumptions set on backward looking data and towards investing more purposefully.

What’s one thing you would like listeners to take away from this?

  • Challenge how you’ve always done things.  Are we a bit complacent as an industry?  Are we a bit too comfortable?  Have we been doing things in the same way a bit too far long now?  Get out of that usual meeting cycle and really challenge yourself.
