Understand tactical asset allocation and create more value in your investment strategies

Malcolm Fair, Managing Director at RisCura.

The investment industry landscape is changing all the time. With jam-packed trustee meetings primarily focused on making key decisions, there is little time available to spend on educating and training industry stakeholders. Due to the current volatility in the South African market, there is a need, now more than ever before, for Trustees to broaden their investment knowledge in a focussed manner. Trustee training is also a regulatory requirement.

To address this need in the investment sector, independent global financial services provider RisCura is hosting its first Education Series for Institutional Investors on Tuesday, 16 May 2017, at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg, 09h00 for 10h00 to 13h00. Attendance is free and will be limited to institutional investors and financial media only.

“Investments are complicated, especially when considering long-term liabilities. At RisCura, we want trustees of funds to be in a position to make informed decisions. In addition to this, we believe in continuously educating the industry in areas we feel trustees may not understand well and are missing out on maximising their investments,” says Malcolm Fair, RisCura’s Managing Director.

“Expect to hear best thinking on best practice on investment topics through keynote presentations and panel discussions which allow attendees ample time to ask questions,” says Fair.

On Tuesday, 16 May 2017, the RisCura team is looking at Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA), and how trustees, in these volatile times, exasperated by downgrades in South Africa, can use TAA to create more value in their investment strategies.

At the event a panel of experts will unpack the main performance drivers in setting investment strategies and explain how tactical asset allocation can be used to enhance the returns further and unlock even more value for beneficiaries in these volatile markets.
