A practitioner’s guide to the five essential marks of effective capital allocation.
In a rapidly shifting economic and investment landscape, CAIA Association is here to declare the emergence of a new paradigm for investors — one where allocators need to work smarter and more creatively to deliver client outcomes.
This much is certain: The traditional 60/40 portfolio allocation is no longer enough. The opportunity for alpha is not gone, but the low-hanging fruit has long been harvested, and the path toward higher absolute returns has gotten far more nuanced.
