Is Diversification Living Up to The Promise?
Dr. Sushil Wadhwani CBE, Chief Investment Officer of PGIM Wadhwani, discusses how economic uncertainty is creating opportunities in liquid alternatives.
Capitalise on conditions, good or bad, with a liquid alternatives strategy.
Amid extensive efforts to tame inflation, the ultimate economic cost of restrictive monetary policy has yet to become apparent against an uneven global backdrop. Still, investors began the year assuming a positive outcome was imminent based on signs of progress in the inflation fight, positioning markets for heightened volatility as new data points test those early assumptions. At the same time, the war in Ukraine remains a geopolitical wildcard with disruptive potential that is as difficult to gauge as its resolution is to predict.

Morningstar Ratings
The Morningstar Rating for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustments for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year(if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
