What investment styles Title will work while many will fail?

Hyperion believes most incumbent investment styles will fail in a new economic framework… 1. Traditional value needs another “economic growth bubble”. 2. Common benchmark aware, active strategies are less effective when large, old-world businesses dominate an index. 3. Tailwinds behind passive investing have ended with interest rates near zero and many benchmark stocks being disrupted. 4. We are facing a long period of low economic growth with high levels of innovation and disruption. Only innovative businesses will still be able to grow their revenues and profits in this environment.

* Composite and benchmark performance are for the period 1 June 2014 through to the 31 December 2014. 1– The MSCI World Index Net TR (AUD) is a broad global equity benchmark that represents large and mid-cap equity performance across 23 developed markets countries. The benchmark is constructed and maintained by MSCI. Returns are shown in Australian dollar terms and currency impacts are unhedged. Source: MSCI 2 – The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period. The three-year annualized ex-post standard deviation of the composite are calculated using grossof fees returns. This metric has not been provided for 2014 to 2016 due to there being less than 36 months of data available. 3– Internal dispersion is calculated using the asset-weighted standard deviation of the annual gross returns of those portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year. If the composite contains five or fewer portfolios for the full year, a measure of internal dispersion is not required. Dispersion data is therefore not available.
