The Rebirth of Portable Alpha: Lessons from the Past, Tools for the Future

Once a staple of institutional portfolios, portable alpha strategies fell out of favor after the global financial crisis exposed their structural vulnerabilities. Yet in today’s environment of low forward-looking returns and growing demand for diversification, the concept is quietly returning—refined and rebranded. This presentation explores the historical evolution of portable alpha, the mechanics behind its modern implementation via return stacking, and the portfolio construction challenges it seeks to address in a capital-constrained world.
