As the diversification offered by traditional equity-bond portfolios wanes, institutional investors concerned about concentration risk are looking to alternatives and other actively managed strategies to balance their portfolios while still achieving returns.In the last few years, concentration risk has been top of mind for investors, given the current inflation backdrop, according to Philip Straehl, CIO for the Americas at Morningstar Wealth.“What shifted the stock-bond correlations was the change in the inflationary environment in 2022 and 2021,” Straehl says. “It was a post-COVID-19 impact.”Equity market gains have become more concentrated in a shrinking number of stocks, primarily those in the U.S.…

In plain English, the company is made…

Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 | by Roslyn Layton | 0 Comments | Print As Americans celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday, it is worth reflecting on one of the enduring principles that has fueled American prosperity since 1776: free markets allocate resources better than bureaucracies.
