The impact of individual investors in the options market is a theme running through this last magazine of 2021, as we look at how systematic managers are adapting to the increase in U.S. retail activity and how the retail-dominated crypto derivatives market is taking shape. On the cover this quarter is Brunel Pension Partnership’s Helen Price, who talked to EQD about how the pension fund is shifting to newly-launched Paris-aligned benchmarks, as well as adjusting its climate change policy to meet its net zero targets. EQD’s research head Russell Rhoads also taps into the environmental, social and governance topic with a look at how futures on an SGX Nikkei ESG real estate investment trust index are performing. Elsewhere we dive into quantitative credit strategies, round up a year of overlay strategies and profile AllSpring Global Investors’ future plans.
