Intech Investments Webinar: Is Diversification Dead?

Intech President, David Schofield, and Client Portfolio Manager, Iheshan Faasee, presented an IPE moderated webinar asking the question: Is Diversification Dead?

A handful of the largest stocks have dominated equity markets for several years. As a result, today’s cap-weighted indexes are nearing historical levels of capital concentration – and those few, dominant stocks wield a disproportionate influence over market returns. In a market driven by the behaviour of a handful of stocks, does a diversified approach to equity investing still make sense?

In this webinar, the President of Intech’s International Division, David Schofield, and Iheshan Faasee, managing director and client portfolio manager, discussed:

• Are market stress indicators showing signs that a size reversal is ahead?
• How can rebalancing generate alpha over time?
• How does replenishing diversification exploit the rebalancing premium?
