Today’s equity landscape is shaped by concentrated index leadership, shifting factor regimes, and evolving client preferences between passive, quantitative, and fundamental approaches. In this session, Andrew Sharp-Paul will share a practical framework for identifying where active management can still add value, and how investors can unlock those opportunities through more deliberate portfolio design. We will discuss how “core equity” is being rethought, why blending styles can improve portfolio resilience, and how portfolio construction tools and techniques can help allocate active risk more effectively, while remaining mindful of governance and implementation constraints.
