It also requires a mindset shift among asset owners that recognises these strategic partnerships have the potential to be mutually beneficial.’

  2. A worthwhile project to extend on this observation would be to identify the conditions under which collaborative versus competitive dynamics produce desirable outcomes for all members of super funds.
    Regnan was an initiative of universal owners and is proof that outcomes greater than the sum of the parts can be achieved. It has a collaborative model hard-coded into its organisational structure and clear goals shared by its participants which is the minimum needed for positive collaborative outcomes. This model enables greater efficiency though investment in shared resources but more importantly, it achieves much greater results than could be achieved individually. As long term investors, superannuation funds share a common goal of ensuring that business is aligned to their long term interests. This member outcome can be achieved through high quality centralised engagement.

Don’t ignore the bigger picture

Given the strong returns of yield-rich asset classes in recent years, caution should be exercised in allowing income-themes to dominate investment allocations. David Scobie of Mercer writes.

Brexit and institutional investors

What are the consequences of the Brexit vote for institutional investors with a long-term horizon? Less than what they might seem, says Stephen Kotkin. But upheaval may be likely all the same.

Ignorance isn’t bliss

In an increasingly complex and inter-connected world, a broader perspective on risk is essential in helping investors navigate an uncertain future, writes Phil Edwards.

Long horizon investors ‘a crazy bunch’

Asset owners should allocate capital where it is productive, which implies knowing where value is created in the real world. Jaap van Dam contemplates what it means to be a long-horizon investor.

Asset owners’ next battle

Asset owners are winning the argument to lower private equity manager fees; their next battle will be about the valuation of private assets.
