PortfolioConstruction Conference: Emerging markets

28 July 2008
| By Sara Rich |

At this year’s PortfolioConstruction Conference (August 27-28), Geoff Warren, director of capital markets research at Russell Investments, will examine the case for investing in emerging market equities from the perspective of an Australian investor.

He’ll argue that emerging markets should be viewed as a relatively risky equity sub-class that justifies its position in portfolios as a source of additional returns, rather than as a diversification opportunity.

He’ll show that investors can expect to be adequately compensated for these risks through both risk premiums and alpha generated by active emerging market equity managers.

Research papers from the PortfolioConstruction Conference will be available in the August edition of Money Managements Technical Adviser.

Now in its seventh year, PortfolioConstruction Conference has earned a reputation as the investment conference of the year. To register, go to http://www.PortfolioConstruction.com.au/Conference
