mallowstreet University Dinner: Unconstrained Fixed Income

We are now 7 years into an equity bull market and yet many portfolios are dominated by equity risk. Many non-traditional fixed income segments can offer strong yields with significantly lower volatility than equities, making them a strong opportunity set for investors to consider over coming months.

Over dinner, Adam Smears (Head of Fixed Income Research, and Unconstrained Fixed Income Portfolio Manager) will discuss:

• Why credit risk should be a larger component of your overall risk budget;

• How an “unconstrained” approach can allow robust access to desirable risk premia.

This dinner is exclusively for pension funds trustees and decision makers, and is eligible for CPD credits.
