BlackRock The Bid Episode 258: Portfolio Construction in a World of Change — Adapting to Market Regime Shifts

On BlackRock's The Bid Episode 258, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Vivek Paul, Head of Portfolio Research at the BlackRock Investment Institute and UK Chief Investment Strategist, about the suitability of traditional portfolio construction frameworks amid shifting market regimes. They note that superforces such as AI investment and geopolitical fragmentation are reducing the effectiveness of static asset allocation, requiring portfolio construction to become more dynamic and more focused on underlying risk exposures. The conversation also explores the practical value of private markets, active strategies, and scenario analysis in the current market environment.
