FRIC Practitioner seminar with Ole Christian Bech-Moen, Norges Bank Investment Management
Join us of an upcoming FRIC Practitioner seminar with Ole Christian Bech-Moen, Norges Bank Investment Management on October 8, 2018.
Ole Christian Bech-Moen will present: Investing for the long-term
Abstract:
The talk will focus on central topics facing one of the world’s largest institutional investors, and the ramifications of a long-term investment horizon on strategic allocation decisions: what are the implications of portfolio rebalancing on expected returns, and turnover and transaction costs? How should an investor that has substantial oil price exposure outside of its financial portfolio think about investing in the oil and gas sector? Lastly, given a high degree of cross-country co-movement in equity and fixed income returns, has the case for international diversification weakened?
