Active equity

What is the role of active equity in your DC investment menu?

Changing markets, new alpha generation strategies, more complex risk management and a focus on fees have complicated the selection of active strategies in defined contribution (DC) plan menus. It may no longer be enough to simply check the style boxes. Plan sponsors may need to budget risk across asset classes and understand what’s expected to drive risk and return correlations on a deep level.
