Democratising real assets for sustainable returns
As inflation stabilises in the UK and central bank interest rate cuts loom, cheaper borrowing could boost interest in real assets like real estate and infrastructure, expected to outperform due to robust cash flows and modest economic growth. With 76% of investors planning to increase real estate allocations and 74% to infrastructure, driven by lower bond yields and stabilising values, real assets remain under-allocated in many UK portfolios. Despite significant allocations by institutional investors, UK retail clients lag behind. What barriers prevent increased retail exposure to real assets, and how can advisers integrate these into diverse portfolios?
This one-hour webinar will feature a panel of experts providing insights on the strategic importance of real assets under the current economic and political environment. They will address barriers to client access and explore actionable strategies for successfully integrating real assets into diverse portfolios.
