Course Description

The Commonfund model of long-term investing calls for portfolios that include an equity bias, broad diversification and illiquid private investments to capture the premium they may offer over public markets. In this session, we will be providing a framework to challenge common concepts in the portfolio construction process – focusing specifically on how those concepts are positioned versus today’s economic backdrop and capital markets.

  • Identify areas of the portfolio construction and asset allocation process where the status quo could have the greatest effect
  • List reasons why the status quo may be giving a false sense of security
  • Determine where you can improve upon the status quo by disrupting it altogether
