  • A Hole in Strategic Asset Allocation
    Investment Insights Series A Hole in Strategic Asset Allocation Introduction Strategic asset allocation (SAA) – the bedrock of institutional portfolios – has a hole; we all know it, but only a few are looking for alternative approaches. While asset allocation may vary from one plan to the next, most institutional portfolios are still anchored on strategic asset allocation based on capital market forecasts of long-term averages: average return, average volatility and average correlations. This is true despite the fact that many chief investment officers acknowledge that forecasting returns is incredibly difficult – if not impossible – Ashwin Alankar, Ph.D. to do, volatility is not the same as investment risk, and correlation estimates are Head of Global Asset Allocation highly unreliable due to their time-varying nature. Given the deficiencies of the & Risk Management SAA, we know the future outcome of most institutional portfolios when extreme negative tail events materialize: they can lose in excess of 30% of the total plan value in one year. This begs the question: if it is broken, why do we insist on building our policy portfolios based on such strategic asset allocation? Inertia. We keep it because we’ve codified it into our investment policy statements. We keep it because there have been no viable alternatives, until now. In what follows, we spotlight deficiencies associated with conventional strategic asset allocation and propose an adaptive asset allocation approach that is designed to maximize compound return while mitigating the acute tail risk present in most institutional portfolios. Suny Park, CFA, CPA Chief Institutional Client Strategist Read Inside Performance pattern of most plans is Calvinistic in nature and its investment outcome pre-determined by strategic asset allocation.
