Investors today are facing a challenging road ahead of paltry forward-looking returns, higher volatility in asset prices, and low yields. Against this backdrop, both institutional and private wealth allocators have been on a trend in increasing the complexity of their portfolios by moving into new alternative asset categories, angling into private market opportunities, and turning to strategic partners. CFA's goal is to provide perspectives and approaches from ODD specialists that are of a notable quality and a distinguished skillset in this arena. The panel of industry experts will illuminate how operational issues and concerns will vary across alternative strategies, and how ODD processes should be tailored based on where a given fund or strategy lies on the continuum. They will also examine ESG Operational Due Diligence aspects and challenges from the lens of asset allocator practitioners investing in more complex asset categories.
