Asset Allocation Seminar on 'How to position your (private markets) portfolio for 2025': Debate, Awards & Networking Drinks Reception
The Asset Allocation Awards are the annual awards for the best asset allocation reports by asset managers in the categories: Asset Allocation, Fixed Income, Equities Regional, Equities Sector and Overall.
In 2025, the Asset Allocation Awards were once again presented during an Asset Allocation Seminar organised by Financial Investigator. This year, the awards ceremony was held exclusively in Brussels, where the five awards attracted a full house of professionals from the financial sector.
During the seminar, the focus was on the outlook for 2025, macro-economic and geopolitical developments and their impact on asset allocation decisions.
The selection of the Asset Allocation Awards is done by Alpha Research, the independent research bureau for professional investors that compiles and updates a database of more than 60 asset allocation reports from asset managers, fund houses and research parties on a monthly basis.
‘To be eligible for a nomination, a report must have been in existence for at least three years, be published at least once per quarter and have reported concrete asset allocation recommendations for at least the Asset Allocation, Fixed Income, Regional Equities and Sector Equities categories in the past 36 months,’ explains Eelco Ubbels, the founder of Alpha Research, who personally presented the awards.
After the ceremony a debate took place with all winners of the awards.
