Stocks and alts point the way for pensions’ future

Experts believe the Korean pension fund could be ramping up internal staff to bring equities and fixed income inhouse, while focusing its external investing on alternatives.

Canada Pension Plan Investment Board hires Asia head of relationship investments; DBS Private Bank's head of fund selection to leave; Citi Private Bank appoints head of India investment products; Raffles Family Office names Greater China head; Ninety One relocates fixed income fund manager; First State Investors names non-executive director, and more.

In an environment where investing in a few large cap stocks is the key to outperformance, fund managers who are truly active and still outperform will gain appeal, industry experts say.
