Frontier Advisors annual ‘managers’ dialogue’ is a chance to look at what’s hot and what’s not for Australia’s largest asset owners.
About 125 fund managers from around the country flocked to Melbourne on Wednesday afternoon for what’s become an important annual ritual: the ‘managers dialogue’ event held by asset consultant Frontier Advisors.
Paul Newfield, Frontier’s director of sector research, says the event is an important way for the firm to be candid about the areas where clients are looking for new ideas, and where they aren’t. In defensive assets and private markets, Frontier’s clients are most interested in direct lending through global private debt strategies, private equity co-investments, and more spicy credit opportunities such as asset-based lending, opportunistic credit and distressed debt. But Frontier is cooler on Australian direct lending and private debt, plus syndicated bank loans.In alternatives, insurance-linked securities are in, as are macro strategies and alternative risk premia strategies.
For a bit of fun, Frontier surveys fund managers and its own staff on the outlook for super fund and asset class returns.
