This week, we are featuring webcasts sponsored by experienced providers in the industry. The content was created to educate, inform and offer ideas for plan sponsors regarding plan design, investing, administration and compliance. | | Sponsored by DiligenceVaurlt | | Operational Due Diligence – Insights and Best Practices for 2022 and Beyond | | As allocations to alternatives continue to rise, conducting proper operational due diligence (ODD) on external managers has never been more important. Join us and our panel of experts as we discuss current challenges and best practices in how ODD professionals are leveraging technology to facilitate manager research and control external party risk.
Discussion topics to include:
• How is ODD different across types of managers? Private capital vs hedge funds?
• What are the biggest deficiencies you typically see in a manager's operations?
• How has the growing interest in applying ESG/DEI criteria to allocations changed the ODD process including ESG metrics data capture?
• What role can technology play in facilitating ODD processes? Can a dedicated due diligence platform really make a difference in identifying manager risk?
• What advice would you give a manager in preparation for an ODD review?
• What will be the driving forces in 2022 and beyond that will shape the future of how ODD gets done? |

| | Sponsored by Scientific Beta | | Macro-Tilted Equity Indices: Protecting your Equity Portfolio against Inflation and other Macro Surprises | | For investors seeking exposure to macroeconomic factors, Scientific Beta offers a new suite of macro indices designed to capture the equity risk premium with additional exposure to unexpected shocks or the surprises of targeted macro factors.
In this webinar we present Scientific Beta’s equity inflation indices, the first in a series of macroeconomic factor indices, that provide long-term equity performance with additional inflation protection compared to a traditional cap-weighted equity index. Their high liquidity makes them ideal candidates as a replacement of cap-weighted indices in a multi-asset portfolio. We also present equity indices targeting further macro variables (interest rates, term spread, credit spread).
Topics covered include:
- Reliable measurement of macroeconomic exposure (role of robust statistics and forward-looking information)
- Building dedicated macroeconomic portfolios that lead to stronger targeted macro exposures compared to a factor or sector allocation approach
- The financial characteristics of highly liquid investable inflation indices that can offer better protection against inflation surprises than a simple cap-weighted index
- Beyond inflation: Protecting portfolios against surprises in the interest rate, term spread, and credit spread. |
