Willis Towers Watson (WTW), in conjunction with the NSW Treasury Corporation (TCorp – a Thinking Ahead Institute member), conducted a global study into current and future asset allocation practices of leading asset owners, with a particular interest in better understanding the characteristics of what has become known as a Total Portfolio Approach (TPA) to portfolio construction.
This paper includes discussions on the findings of this ‘peer study’ and describes the research investigations being carried out in the Thinking Ahead Institute to take this concept further.
