Ep. 134 The Long-Short | What hedge fund allocators want in 2026: Inside AIMCo’s investment playbook
Published: 27 May 2026
The Long-Short is a podcast by the Alternative Investment Management Association, focusing on the very latest insights on the alternative investment industry.
Each episode will examine topical areas of interest from across the alternative investment universe with news, views and analysis delivered by AIMA’s global team, as well as a host of industry experts.
After a decade of relative stability, the investment landscape is changing fast. Higher interest rates, geopolitical fragmentation and persistent market volatility are forcing institutional investors to rethink how they allocate capital, construct portfolios and manage risk.
In this episode of The Long-Short, we speak with Brandon Gill-New, Managing Director and Head of External Partnerships at the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), one of Canada’s leading institutional investors.
Gill-New sits at the centre of AIMCo’s relationships with external managers across public and private markets, giving her a rare perspective on how large asset owners are adapting to a far more uncertain investment environment.
