University Workshop: The Art of Strategic Thinking- Generating Returns Throughout Credit Cycles
Cairn Capital, a specialist credit asset management firm, is pleased to be hosting their first Educational Workshop of the 2013 mallowstreet University Series. The morning's workshop will follow on from their recent Dinner discussion of the same topic. In this interactive morning session Andrew Jackson will lead the discussion, beginning with a comment on the current macro backdrop to the European credit markets, followed by Cairn's view on the optimal asset management approach within these markets for pension funds.
As the cycle evolves different credit sub-asset classes can offer different levels of value. Therefore having a flexible multi asset approach with a specialist manager, who understands the idiosyncrasies and trading potential of each asset class, can offer superior risk adjusted returns over time. ‘Active management’ and ‘absolute return’remain the key buzzwords in the Cairn Capital offices. We will discuss the benefits of both during the evening using case studies to illustrate how this works in practice.
This is a FREE event for Pensions Decision Makers and their Advisors. Please note that spaces for this event are limited. To avoid disappointment please register for this event below.
