The Current Market Opportunity in Private Real Assets – Barings – 8.14.18

Summary:

Now On Demand.

As advisors continue to seek stable, long-term returns with inflationary protections, demand for real assets has steadily increased. At Barings, we believe there is a strong investment case to own, develop, and operate real assets—from commodity reserves and producing assets to the physical infrastructure that is critical to transporting, storing and converting those commodities to a usable form in the real economy. Please join us for this in-depth webcast that will cover:

  • Macroeconomic trends driving growth in real assets
  • Sector opportunities, risks and diversification considerations
  • Deploying private capital and maximizing risk-adjusted portfolio returns
