The Red Thread: diversification edition

MONOCLE
About this episode

We explore the most recent edition of UBS Asset Management’s flagship thought-leadership paper, ‘The Red Thread’, which is focused on diversification. Long a central tenet of investment theory, many assumptions about the strategy have been tested of late due to the dominance of the so-called “Magnificent Seven” tech companies. Our panel is Barry Gill, UBS Asset Management’s head of investments, Michele Gambera, head of strategic asset allocation, and Lucy Thomas, head of sustainable investing and impact.
