Marquette Speaking at Institutional Investor Redefining Fixed Income Forum 10/23

September 24, 2020

On Friday, October 23rd, Marquette will be speaking at Institutional Investor’s 6th annual Redefining Fixed Income Forum, “Opportunities & Risks: When Rates & Inflation are Low and Nothing Looks Cheap,” being held virtually. Ben Mohr will be providing introductory remarks, organizing discussion groups, and moderating two panels.

The first panel is entitled, “Re-thinking Asset Allocation in an Ultra-Low Yield Environment.” This panel will cover the implications of low yields for market participants and the bifurcation of performance expectations across fixed income sectors. In addition, the panel will survey the opportunities and risks in the securitized sector and a flexible credit approach. Lastly, the panel will discuss an alternative approach to traditional discretionary fixed income management.

The second panel is entitled, “The Risks and Opportunities in Broad vs. Niche Fixed Income Asset Classes.” This panel will explore the key risks and opportunities across broad fixed income asset classes like core bonds, bank loans, high yield bonds, and emerging markets debt versus those from niche fixed income asset classes such as CLOs, insurance-linked securities, and infrastructure debt with the backdrop of the gradual recovery from the COVID crisis and the looming U.S. presidential election. An emphasis will be placed on how allocators are currently thinking about exposures between these broad vs. niche fixed income asset classes.
