Excerpts:
“With lower investment returns predicted for the next few years, superannuation funds are increasingly interested in capturing all the available alpha (or the return attributable to manager skill) to top up member returns. And alpha transfer is seen as the new way to achieve it.”
“The interest in alpha transfer strategies comes at a time when a major rethink is occurring about the way investors manage their portfolios to achieve good returns.”
“The concept of portable alpha is built around the idea that traditional investment management has limitations due to the asset class and manager selection decisions being made together.”
“Surveys among institutional investors have shown there is growing interest in separating alpha and beta.”
