University Dinner: Exposure to Financial Institutions - A New Approach
Cairn Capital, a specialist credit asset management firm is pleased to be
holding a mallowstreet University Dinner on Wednesday 14th November 2012.
All investors have exposure to financial institutions, however the most
significant component of this obtained via an allocation. The investment grade
credit asset class is often given the least attention. In most sterling indices
financial institutions represent in excess of a third of all exposure and unlike
corporate exposure, there are a range of instruments across the capital
structure.
Cairn Capital argues that, against this backdrop and the more complex risks
that financial institutions represent, a specialist investment manager and a
different approach is required to that used for corporate exposures. A barbell
strategy focussed on highly active management of riskier securities
(subordinated debt) together with a core investment in conservatively structured
secured funding can offer more attractive returns with lower risk than a more
conventional index centric strategy. This presentation will seek to explain
how.
This is a FREE event for Trustees, Pensions Managers,
Pensions Chairs, Independent Trustees and Pension Secretaries. Please note that
spaces are limited and available on first come first serve basis. To avoid
