Each episode will examine topical areas of interest from across the alternative investment universe with news, views and analysis delivered by AIMA’s global team, as well as a host of industry experts.

On this episode of The Long-Short, we dive into the resurgence of Portable Alpha. Once a go-to strategy for institutional investors like pension funds and endowments, it became a cautionary tale after the 2008 financial crisis. Now, nearly two decades later, it’s back in the spotlight. What’s driving its revival? How has the strategy evolved, and why are investors rekindling their interest? This week Anne Marie Fink, CIO, Private Markets & Funds Alpha at the State of Wisconsin Investment Board unpacks the past, present and future of Portable Alpha.
