The fast and complex globalisation demands for different approaches to defend your portfolio against volatility and instability. The zero interest rate policy did cost hundreds of billions for depositors and pensioners. Low interest rates can threaten pension funds and insurances. About 1 of 4 EU-citizens depend on a pension income. With inflation the pressure will increase. Alternative investments as real sustainable investing are necessary.
In the corona and economic crisis many countries, especially such with weak infrastructure, high corruption and low income budget, have been set back by years, some even decades, even more indebted with increasing dependencies from abroad, and digitization continue being advanced even further. Will there be after the corona crisis before the corona crisis or is there another “forced deglobalization” needed? The risk report 2021 (January 19, 2021) from WEF Switzerland says clearly: “More other dangerous and infectious diseases to be likely”.

Will there be for possible deglobalized solutions after an energy transition also a financial transition or will the digitalization rollout make perfect the globalization?

The pension funds in Switzerland do gain by far not anymore their target returns. Furthermore inefficient allocation of your capital for too low coupons can prevent successful projects. A lot of pension funds abroad enlarge intentionally the asset class alternative investments selectively and diversified. The trend in real values will continue. The proportion of alternative investments in the portfolios for example of pension funds in Switzerland has increased continuously since the turn of the millennium. But not everything called real alternative investments must also be complex. Interesting opportunities are above listed real assets. Thus with alternative investments as real sustainable investing or impact investing the possibilities are for diversification almost unlimited.
