As we enter the second half of 2025, asset allocators are increasingly split.
Some maintain current exposures, others are rotating toward risk assets or defensive positions like cash and short-duration Treasuries. Notably, local and regional multi-asset portfolios have begun to diversify away from U.S.-centric allocations, favoring opportunities in Europe and APAC amid shifting capital flows and trade tensions.
The BlackRock Investment Institute emphasizes a strategy of “be deliberate, defend, and diversify”—staying invested in equities but with a sharper focus on granular, alpha-seeking opportunities, while also exploring alternative diversifiers such as gold and private credit.
Join us to hear our speakers present upcoming impactful factors and how local multi-asset portfolios have changed their allocation.
The presentation will be followed by a networking cocktail.
