  • mallowstreet University Dinner: Understanding Listed Infrastructure

    to at The Mercer, 32 Threadneedle St, London EC2R 8AY, UK

    Fundamentally, investment in listed infrastructure is an investment in infrastructure assets via the equities market. The assets available for investment on the listed market are very similar (and in some ways complementary in scope) to those in the private markets and not surprisingly, the listed infrastructure market has generated investment returns which are almost identical to those in the private infrastructure market over the long term.

  • mallowstreet University Dinner: Boosting income with European ABS

    to at The Don Restaurant, The Courtyard, 20 St Swithin's Ln, London EC4N 8AD, UK

    In an environment where income is a scarce commodity and interest rates are beginning to rise, assets that offer attractive returns and protection against rising rates are hard to find. At this dinner, TwentyFour Asset Management partner and portfolio manager Ben Hayward will explain why now is an opportune time to invest in asset backed securities (ABS), given attractive yields, improving fundamentals, limited supply and potential for capital gains. Ben, who has been investing in the European ABS market for over 20 years, will show you why there is relative value to be found in this under-researched asset class, and why its risk-return profile is perfect for pension funds.

  • mallowstreet University Dinner: Why US Municipal Bonds Are Now Interesting to UK Investors

    to at The Mercer, 32 Threadneedle St, London EC2R 8AY, UK

    These are challenging times to generate a liability-friendly return within a limited risk budget. However, US taxable municipal bonds, ‘munis’, are offering competitive yield and high credit quality. In addition, their low correlation with other asset classes and long duration make them particularly well-suited to insurers. Yields on 10-year AAA and AA taxable munis compare favourably to gilts, even after deducting currency hedging costs. In addition, the muni bond market has a proven track record of low volatility, near zero default rates and offers liquidity and diversity. This mallowstreet University dinner offers the opportunity to learn more about munis from Franklin Templeton’s US-based specialist team, and to discuss the practicalities for UK investors.
