Keynote: UK Commercial Property - Back to basics

Real assets have always played an important part in Pension portfolios. The past decade has witnessed a huge degree of diversification within the institutional investment universe, which now encompasses infrastructure, residential / build to rent, alternatives, long lease and ground rents. In this environment, the case for core / balanced portfolios is often overlooked. In this seminar, we examine how diversified portfolios have adapted to market forces and emerged resilient and well positioned to deliver performance.
