MOST investors hunger for forecasts of the future, but Unigestion's alternative risk premia (ARP) fund eschews forecasts in favour of "nowcasting".
Joan Lee, Unigestion's senior vice-president and multi-assets portfolio manager, said: "We think it's difficult to forecast. What will happen tomorrow has little to do with asset prices today. What's important is where we are currently."
