PGIM Alts Forum: Art or Science? Asset Valuation in a Long/Short WorldPGIMAltsForum:ArtorScience?AssetValuationinaLong/ShortWorld

With much of the global economy continuing to bounce back from the pandemic-induced pullback, investors are facing a challenging environment. Equity valuations remain high, and central bank intervention continues to play a huge role in the performance of a host of asset classes. 

Liquid alternative strategies can provide investors with flexibility during periods of economic and market volatility, and PGIM recently brought together a panel of experts to discuss the opportunity set in liquid alts. Among the topics that were discussed:

• Are markets currently overvalued, and how can investors discover relative value within asset classes?
• What will be the impact of potentially rising inflation, will that pickup in pricing power be a short-lived phenomenon or a lasting trend, and can investors effectively use gold as an inflation hedge?
• How portfolio construction may be altered as a result of changes in macro trends.
• How to take advantage of long/short opportunities across a host of asset classes.
