Whitepaper: A Great Time to Be Agnostic?

CME Group recently collaborated with Pensions & Investments (P&I) to survey the attitudes and allocation preferences of today’s institutional investors, given the current market environment and the use of alternative investment strategies.

But asset allocation strategies don’t appear to reflect those concerns – yet. Many respondents seem to be trying to play offense and defense simultaneously. See what institutional investors say about this disconnect, and what could trigger a shift.
