As the DOW Jones closed above 40,000 for the first time in its history, Olaolu Aganga recently joined the team on CNBC’s Closing Bell to discuss our playbook in alternatives and current strategic and tactical asset allocation views. Through what many have described as a “supercycle” election year, we see large asset owners seeking out stability in longer-term allocations to alternatives – including private credit and private equity. Typically marked to market at a slower rate, exposure to alternatives can provide important stability through more volatile periods. Balancing strategic and tactical decision making across portfolios is all about assessing risk and return relative to time horizon. Strategically, we’ve been neutral on Europe for some time, but tactically, we’ve been looking internationally to capture opportunities across emerging markets, most recently in China where we see valuation distortion.
