New research from platform provider, Praemium, and CoreData has revealed active management as the top strategy selected by financial advisers to generate outperformance.

The survey of financial advisers found active stock selection and partnering with asset managers rounded out the top three strategies to stay on top of inflationary conditions, interest rates and ongoing market volatility. Alternatives also captured 21 per cent of the vote, with high-net-worth advisers the most likely to use the asset class to generate alpha.

“With the complexities of today’s financial markets, there’s a tremendous opportunity for platforms, asset consultants, and licensees to work together to provide the crucial support advisers need to generate alpha,” Praemium’s Chief Strategy Officer, Denis Orrock, said.
