The global investment landscape has shifted over the past 10 years in four key ways, says Sebastien Page, executive vice-president and head of the client analytics group for Pimco.
The four drivers he lists are:
- A shift from focusing on data and models to macroeconomic forecasting.
- A switch from diversifying across asset classes to diversifying across risk factors.
- A realization that focusing on static time horizons—allocating assets and then not making changes for many years—doesn’t work, since markets change in unexpected ways.
- A shift from measuring risk as volatility to measuring it as exposure to large losses.
