2018 Global East Government Funds Roundtable

Are Public Markets Failing Us?

Should sovereign and government funds approach public market investing differently than they have in the past? Lack of diversification, short-termism, gaining exposure to new technologies and growth, high frequency trading, and skewed benchmarks are just some of the challenges they are facing.

One thing is clear – government funds have continuously increased exposure to private market strategies, perhaps because they feel it is a better way to align portfolios with their investment missions and purpose. At the 2018 Roundtable, asset allocators will discuss key points pertinent to public and private market investing including liquidity, long-term value creation and scale.
