Two Ways of Hedging Risky Bets in Investment Portfolios: BlackRock

Bettina Mazzocchi, co-head of EMEA Wealth Solutions at BlackRock, comments on portfolio diversification strategies amid heightened volatility and uncertainty in markets. Speaking on Bloomberg Television from Paris, Mazzocchi cites minimum-volatility equities and private markets as two ways of adding resilience to portfolios, alongside more risky bets. "Our regime analysis suggests that min-vol equity should fare better than either equal or market-cap weighted ones," she explains. "Private market is an interesting diversifier because it can provide early access to the structural mega-forces reshaping the economy."
