Navigating Concentration & Geopolitical Risk in Equity Markets

Join Bloomberg Indices for the first of 3 webinars following on from our Asset Allocation series on the ground. We'll take a top down view of Equity Markets as we move into Q2 and what this means for investment strategies local and global. Global equity markets continue to show resilience, even as geopolitical developments, regional divergences, and shifting macro conditions reshape the investment landscape. For Asset Allocators this raises important questions around portfolio positioning, benchmark robustness, and long-term risk management. This session begins with an Equity Market Outlook from Bloomberg Intelligence Head of EMEA Equity Strategy Laurent Douillet, providing context on the key forces driving equity performance across regions and sectors for 2026. We then examine the growing concentration risks across countries, sectors, and technology within the key Bloomberg Equity benchmarks, and what these dynamics mean for strategic asset allocation and portfolio construction. The discussion concludes with a practical exploration of equity indexing investment solutions with Mike Pruzinsky Equity Indices Product Manager, highlighting index construction approaches that can help investors manage concentration & geopolitical risk while remaining positioned for long-term equity growth.
