Although the year 2020 was challenging and unprecedented, it brought opportunities to sectors like technology, IT and OTT platforms. Global companies like Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Alphabet (Google) and Netflix utilized the opportunity and cemented their dominance internationally. These companies are an integral part of our lives; yet many of us do not realize we too can participate in their phenomenal growth.
In this context, S&P Dow Jones Indices is all set to hold its 6th annual thought leadership seminar ‘The power of diversification in the new normal’.
Elaborating on the need of global diversification, Koel Ghosh, Head of South Asia, S&P Dow Jones Indices said, “India has always been a country with a “home bias” in its investment strategies—meaning that Indian investors have generally preferred local securities to global. This is understandable; high yields in the fixed income markets and strong performance from equities, as well as a faith that India would deliver world-beating economic growth, kept investors glued to the local markets. However, the market’s reaction to the events of 2020 have provided a counterpoint to the accepted wisdom, when opportunities beyond domestic borders emerged as the clear winners.”
The four-day-long online event will give insights on global diversification, passive investments, ETFs and so on. You can also expect new insights on innovative investing strategies that can create more resilient investment portfolios to deal with uncertain times.
Over the course of four days, 23 investment experts including a former RBI governor, top Indian CEOs and CIOs and international mutual fund experts will speak with one objective - to help you understand the power of diversification and passive investing in the new normal.
What you can expect at the event:
- How international diversification helps reduce portfolio volatility
