Private assets are increasingly playing a significant role in institutional portfolio optimization, offering diversification and attractive return potential alongside traditional public investments.
Institutional investors face industry-wide challenges due to the fundamental differences between private and publicly listed assets and their impact on modeling approaches that underpin investment decision-making. To address these challenges, many are turning to innovative technologies, such as scenario-based machine learning, to develop more resilient and robust investment strategies.
Join us for this webinar, the concluding session of our Private assets in focus: Navigating investment decisions series, where Saiyan Raya, Investment Solutions Director and Hens Steehouwer, Chief Innovation Officer, will:
- Explore the challenges with portfolio optimization in today’s institutional investment landscape
- Explain how SBML can address the unique complexities of private assets, including illiquidity and broader portfolio risk implications
- Demonstrate how SBML can be applied to build optimal portfolios using a real-world case study, highlighting a three-dimensional lever approach across multiple portfolios with varying risk, return, and liquidity objectives
