In einem herausfordernden Marktumfeld bieten europäische Small Caps attraktive Investmentchancen – aber mit welchen Risiken und Potenzialen?

Institutionelle Investoren können verschiedene Strategien nutzen, um von den Potenzialen der Small-Cap-Aktien zu profitieren. Dabei sind gezielte Ansätze und eine fundierte Auswahl entscheidend, um von der überdurchschnittlichen Wachstumsdynamik und den Marktchancen kleinerer Unternehmen zu profitieren. Small-Caps bieten in der Regel höhere Wachstumschancen, aber auch größere Risiken, weshalb ein sorgfältiges Risikomanagement und eine tiefgehende Marktanalyse notwendig sind.

Bart Geukens, Portfoliomanager bei DPAM mit einer beeindruckenden Erfolgsbilanz von 20 Jahren im Management der europäischen Small Caps-Strategie, gibt in diesem Webinar einen tiefen Einblick in die aktuellen Markttreiber, Bewertungsperspektiven und langfristigen Wachstumschancen dieser Anlageklasse. Erfahren Sie, mit welchen Strategien institutionelle Anleger von diesem Marktsegment profitieren können und wie sich Small Caps in verschiedenen Konjunkturzyklen entwickeln. Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit, Ihre Fragen direkt an den Experten zu richten.

Europäische Small Caps: Chancen und Ausblick für institutionelle Investoren

The Trump administration brings with it opportunities, challenges and uncertainty for global investors and is leading both passive and active allocators to rethink their US equity allocations. Many active portfolios contain unintended structural active biases to certain factors and top-down risks, which can lead to positive performance outcomes over the longer term. But this can also mean they are susceptible to prolonged periods of underperformance over the short to medium term.

Federated Hermes MDT Advisers believes there is a better way to design portfolios, one that seeks to mitigate the impact from structural style biases and deliver more alpha consistency regardless of the market backdrop. MDT’s investment process identifies a diversified range of alpha sources for investment consideration and equips our portfolios with the potential to add value regardless of the market environment.

This diversification of alpha sources combined with a disciplined, risk-efficient portfolio construction process, provides the opportunity to deliver more consistent, durable, all-weather performance outcomes for clients with minimal alpha correlation to traditional approaches.

Join Federated Hermes MDT Advisers to explore:

- How sophisticated predictive modelling, including machine learning tools, can be used to identify greater breadth of alpha sources for portfolios.
- Portfolio design that seeks to mitigate the impact from structural style biases and deliver more consistency in relative performance. 
- The case for using The MDT All Cap Core US Equity strategy in a building block approach to US equities.

A new paradigm in the US calls for a new approach: Can machine learning deliver a diversified alpha stream?

The European real estate market is facing structural shifts, with ongoing higher costs, evolving occupier demands and regulatory pressure reshaping the investment environment. 

Against the backdrop of Europe’s need to transition and decarbonize in an effort to achieve its economic and environmental goals, our experts will explore how we believe investors can access outperformance by transforming assets to help meet tomorrow’s challenges. 

Key discussion points include: 
- Market dynamics and investment outlook – identifying key themes.   
- Repositioning and repurposing – seeking to unlock value through redevelopment, ESG-led refurbishment and adaptive re-use.
- Technology – Leveraging digitalisation to potentially enhance asset performance.

In a shifting macroeconomic environment, in our opinion active asset transformation remains key to delivering resilient, long-term value. 

Join us as our real estate experts, Simon Wallace, Global Co-Head of Research and Ronen Ribak, Head of Value-Add discuss how to navigate challenges and potentially seize opportunities in European real estate.

The Evolution and Adoption of Digital Assets

Pension schemes around the world are distributing an increasing amount to their members as they age and retire. By matching cash outflows with natural investment inflows, schemes could avoid selling assets when markets are depressed, while still providing upside growth potential from investing in fixed income markets. This is one of the reasons why cashflow driven investment (CDI) strategies have garnered significant interest from institutional investors in recent years. 

Join us for an engaging discussion featuring our CDI experts, who will provide valuable insights and real-world case studies. Topics to be discussed include:

- Why should pension schemes consider CDI strategies?
- What does a CDI strategy look like?
- What is the added value of going global in CDI portfolios?
- What is the difference between Liability Driven Investment and Cashflow Driven Investment?
- How can sustainability be integrated into cashflow driven investments?

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly with our live Q&A session. So, don’t miss out and register now to secure your place

A Global Perspective on Cashflow Driven Investment

For Professional / Institutional Investors only. Capital at risk. 
The webinar has three objectives:
 
Evaluate how factor efficacy has evolved over time – long-term outperformance vs. short term cyclicality
Explain how index design has evolved to capture factor premia, integrating objectives such as risk, return and sustainability
Describe the interplay between specific ESG criteria, climate considerations and different investment styles (e.g. value or quality)?
 
In our discussion, we’ll explore what has changed in factor investing over the past decade, what to expect in the years ahead, and how tracking- error-aware strategies can potentially enhance portfolio outcomes.
 
We’ll share practical case studies of factor solutions to uncover best practices in ESG-integrated factor strategies with risk-controls.

Key Risk Warning
The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and the investor may get back less than the original amount invested

Anti-Greenwashing Statement 
Whilst L&G has integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into its investment decision-making and stewardship practices, this does not guarantee the achievement of responsible investing goals within funds that do not include specific ESG goals within their objectives.

In this interactive session, Mihai Florian will look to compare market dynamics within EM illiquid credit vs (DM) private credit and make the case for why the asset class offers an attractive risk-return profile in what he believes is an under-penetrated market.

InfraGrowth: What's driving Europe's infrastructure transition

We believe investors should look beyond traditional sustainability leaders and consider companies that are committed to, but earlier in the process of, moving toward a greener future. Investing in companies that are in the early stages of their transition can provide three key benefits:
          • the ability to drive real-world outcomes,
          • the potential to generate alpha, and
          • the opportunity to eliminate the inherent style biases found in traditional sustainable investing approaches.

We integrate sustainability into our investment process because it is essential for understanding the risks and opportunities companies face, impacts economic growth, and is vital to the world. Our transition-focused approach reflects our belief that sustainability-informed investing can reveal opportunities in virtually every industry. 

Innovation is crucial for achieving a long-term sustainable economy due to the complexity and interconnected nature of these issues. Investment opportunities will present themselves throughout asset classes and geographies. Incumbents, or established companies and organizations, play a crucial role in the transition to a more sustainable economy. Their involvement can significantly influence the pace and success of sustainability transitions. 

Join American Century Investment’s Head of Sustainable Investing Sarah Bratton Hughes, Co-CIO of Global Growth Equity Patricia Ribeiro and Global Value Portfolio Manager David Byrns, CFA as they discuss transition investing.

ETFs: Capture Opportunities in 2025

Nature-positive investing has never been of greater importance. Nature provides the fundamental capital base for the global economy; by some estimates over half of global economic output is dependent on it.  However, with the increasing frequency and severity of physical climate hazards, as well as nature loss, earth’s stock of natural capital is declining and putting the economy, investments and our well-being at risk.  It is estimated that over $500 billion a year is needed by 2030 to halt and reverse this dangerous decline in nature—public and private investment will be critical for closing the financing gap to support these efforts.

At the same time, government and corporate action to identify and mitigate the impacts of nature loss has ramped up, creating policies and incentives aimed at mobilizing capital into the sector.  As a result, new and innovative solutions are emerging that provide investors with meaningful opportunities to restore nature while generating positive financial returns. For example, environmental markets and their potential to enhance returns are growing as are new structures in fixed income markets such as debt-for-nature swaps.

Join Nuveen—a pioneer in valuing nature, creating scalable nature-based solutions and anchoring new instruments such as Amazon reforestation bonds—and Sindhu Krishna for unique insights into the opportunities, risks and possibilities of investing in nature.

Topics Covered:
- The nature crisis and why investors should care
- Evolution of nature-positive investing and today’s investible opportunities in public and private markets
- Strategies and structures for managing nature-related investment risk in portfolios
- Methods for measuring portfolio outcomes
- The future of environmental markets
- Asset owner considerations for building nature strategies and targets
- Case study: Balancing financial return and impact

Investing in nature: innovative strategies for return and impact

Litigation is now utilized as a powerful tool for recovering capital and stewardship by a growing number of institutional investors. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP will provide valuable insight on how to select strategic service providers that combine comprehensive portfolio monitoring and global claims filing and deep legal expertise.  Simply filing claims in U.S. class action settlements is no longer adequate to meet your fiduciary obligations, but investors have to be weary of simply chasing everything.  This session will show you how to identify a service provide that provides both.  In addition, data security measures and other considerations will be discussed.
 
As investors seek to promote ESG goals through their investments, Labaton Keller Sucharow Partner Carol C. Villegas will discuss the pros and cons of divesting to influence change within the companies in which they invest.  Carol will also provide valuable insights into the potential implications of the U.S.'s new presidential administration and SEC chair, highlighting potential shifts like reduced proxy powers and alternative strategies for investors seeking to drive corporate governance change.  The session will draw on recent research and examples to argue whether investors should divest or retain their investments to promote ESG practices in an organization.
