Every month, Conning produces an investment outlook that serves as the top-down influence on portfolio construction. Asset class teams – including portfolio managers, analysts and traders – meet and formulate recommendations pertaining to duration, yield curve position and sector allocations.
Then, our entire investment team reviews these recommendations. Following open discussion and debate, the investment team determines the official investment policy for the current month. Conning’s portfolio managers use this policy to drive asset class and sector allocations, as well as duration and yield curve positioning. We provide these conclusions to our clients in our monthly "Capital Markets Outlook".
