The fourth edition of the McGill International Portfolio Challenge (MIPC) focuses on how large institutional asset managers can address rising protectionism and social inequalities through innovative portfolio strategies. The case focuses on a fictional British sovereign wealth fund set up in the midst of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund has a unique triple mandate to support British economic independence and alleviate social inequalities while simultaneously achieving required returns. Winning solutions to this year’s case will form the basis for how investment managers can build socially equitable, yet profitable portfolios in the midst of the kind of rising geopolitical and socio-economic tensions we see today.
