Here’s the top organisational concern among Asia’s institutional investors

SINGAPORE (March 15): In a world of increasing market volatility and still-low yields, Asian institutional investors are seeking new ways to meet their long-term growth objectives by simultaneously mitigating and exploiting risk.

This is according to an international study published today by Natixis Global Asset Management, where 500 institutional managers, of which 62 are based in Asia, were surveyed on how they use risk to their advantage.

A significantly higher proportion of Asian institutional investors (78%) versus the global 69% consensus highlight the need to replace traditional diversification and portfolio construction techniques with new approaches to order meet their performance goals.
