    MPK's CIO on Buying Gold, Dumping Tech and Waiting for Real Estate to Bottom

    Migros Pension Plan CIO Stephan Bereuter joins Allocators Playbook to break down how the CHF 30bn Swiss fund turned a 2023 insurance-linked securities trade into one of its best contrarian bets — bought when everyone else was selling — and why he's not chasing the next "ILS moment." He also talks through where MPK is hunting for opportunities now: cooling conviction on data centers despite being early movers, a cautious re-entry into international real estate, and selective deals in student housing and logistics — plus why the fund just pushed gold to 3% as a liquidity hedge. 00:12 - Introduction to MPK and Stephan Bereuter 01:05 - The Benefits of In-House Management 03:34 - Tactical Allocation & ILS Opportunities 08:40 - Why ILS Remains Attractive 09:54 - Equity Allocation & Diversification 12:40 - Gold as a Liquidity Hedge 14:50 - International Real Estate Opportunities 16:34 - Data Centers & Market Dynamics 21:44 - Managing a Concentrated Swiss Real Estate Portfolio 23:41 - Defense Investments & Ethical Considerations 25:02 - Closing Thoughts

    Why UBC Investment Management CEO Dawn Jia says portfolios need nutrients, not asset-class labels

    How should institutional investors think about portfolio construction in an era of market concentration? Dawn Jia, president and CEO of UBC Investment Management, joins The Allocators Playbook with an unusual answer: stop investing by the label. Just as a diet isn't really about meat, carbs and vegetables but about protein and vitamins, Jia argues portfolio construction should look past asset class labels to the economic exposures underneath — a lens that lets UBCIM spot a valuation gap between public REITs and private real assets and, she says, pocket a 30% return in twelve months.
