The volatility of infrastructure equity investments is the risk which investors take to receive a reward for holding such assets. A robust measure of this risk and its drivers is an essential part of the inclusion of infrastructure investments in the portfolio, from strategic asset allocation to risk management and reporting, tomanager
ETF REPORT MARCH 2021 ETF editorial: The nature of the beast. Geopolitical tensions – particularly between China and the US – have shown how ETFs can be vulnerable to government policy. After the latest round of sanctions against Chinese companies, fund managers had to offload billions to comply with the restrictions while index providers revised theirlistings.
ONE YEAR ON: HOW COVID-19 HAS IMPACTED PRIVATE EQUITY One year on: How Covid-19 has impacted private equity. Mar 22, 2021 By Funds Europe. Spear Capital’s Bryan Turner reflects on the last year and analyses the impact of the pandemic on private equity. Over the past year or so, we’ve all become familiar with a whole host of terms we knew nothing about at the start of 2020. HOW COVID-19 HAS ACCELERATED E-COMMERCE TRENDS Franklin Templeton's Matt Moberg writes about how the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the trend towards e-commerce. We are witnessing a sizeable and lasting shift to e-commerce across the economy - a shift that has been underway for decades, entirely catalysed by a single, revolutionary technological advancement - the emergence of theinternet.
FUND GOVERNANCE: SUPER MANCO SCRUTINY A ManCo is essentially an outsourced compliance function that is meant to give investors and regulators comfort that fund governance is carried out independently and to a high standard. But providers are paid by fund management firms – in other words, those they are meant to be keeping in check. A ManCo’s responsibility is especially great HOW ETFS WERE IMPACTED BY US SANCTIONS AGAINST CHINA The US government’s blacklisting of Chinese companies sent ripples through the ETF industry. Alex Rolandi reports on how sanctions may have had more impact on investors and index providers than on China itself.. When US sanctions against Chinese companies increased earlier in 2021, benchmark providers had to revise their listings and fund managers reassessed portfolios. GLOBAL REAL ESTATE: LOGISTICS CENTRES REACH A NEW MILESTONE Global real estate: Logistics centres reach a new milestone. For investors in logistics buildings, Covid-19 spurred expected growth by years.
