Going into 2010 Mercer, highlights what it sees as the top ten investment trends that investors should critically examine in order to successfully manage their investment portfolios for long-term outcomes.
- Superannuation legislation will force change in the way we look at retirement and how retirement savings are invested.
- A weaker global banking system will create opportunities for private credit.
- Emerging market growth will outstrip developed markets, but equity markets may have priced this in.
- Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors will continue to rise on investors’ radar.
- Investors will critically examine their investment strategies in the context of evolving deflation/inflation risks.
- Dynamic Asset Allocation (medium-term asset allocation tilts) will be de rigueur to capture market mispricing in the medium-term.
- Investors will undertake more due-diligence on hedge fund strategies.
- The big “macro” moves may be behind us – time to become “micro”?
- Super funds will question the role of illiquid assets in their portfolios.
- Diversification will remain key.
An investment manager is likely to have successful product development and marketing efforts in 2010 if they account for Mercer’s top 10 predictions.
