Managing Equity Investments

Why equities deserve a larger allocation when rates rise and refinancing tightens — and how to manage the exposure across instruments and vehicles.

The programme

Equities offer investors a long-term return potential no other asset class matches — often with income distribution, and with strategic value to businesses, institutional investment funds and private portfolios. The case sharpens as rising interest rates press on bond prices and a lower refinancing capacity pushes parts of the corporate sector towards restructurings and potential defaults, while IPOs, mergers, privatisations, infrastructure and project finance open new growth opportunities. This workshop works through the case for increasing equity holdings and managing the exposure that follows.

What you will do

Weigh equities against other asset classes on long-term return potential, income distribution and strategic value.
Position portfolios for a rising-rate scenario, where bond prices fall and corporate refinancing tightens.
Assess opportunities in IPOs, mergers, privatisations and project finance as sources of equity growth.
Build the case for increasing equity holdings in an institutional or private portfolio.
Manage equity exposure across instruments and vehicles, matching them to mandate and client.
