Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our event programme, we have decided to postpone the upcoming Redefining Fixed Income & Credit Symposium, which was to be held on the 8th of December 2020, to next year.
The health and success of our clients, partners and Institutional Investor colleagues are our top priority. In lieu of the event, we are launching a digital series in October in order to stay abreast of the important themes taking place within our industry.

The Redefining Fixed Income and Credit Symposium will bring together senior heads of fixed income from across the European institutional asset owner community. The symposium will discuss the rapid evolution of products and strategies available across the credit and broader fixed income universe, and comes as a direct result of requests from the asset owner community.
Issues under discussion will include, where should alternative fixed income products sit within a broader portfolio? Are asset owners being adequately compensated for illiquidity? Do asset owners fully understand some of the new products on offer, or are we headed for a repeat of 2008?
Nearly every institution is looking at ways of doing more with fixed income, typically by re-allocating to new strategies and managers. The Redefining Fixed Income and Credit Symposium will examine this trend among European pension funds, endowments and foundations as well as selected insurance funds. Are some investors relying less on indexes, core strategies, and other longer-duration bond positions and instead using funds to increase exposure to other parts of the fixed income market that better hedge a potential rising interest rate environment?
The agenda is curated by our expert advisory board and will address the current issues and trends faced within the fixed income and credit space. Last year, agenda topics included:
- Achieving Meaningful Risk Adjusted Returns Across A Portfolio of Return Seeking Credit and Fixed Income
- Why Go Active in Emerging Market Debt?
- Strategies for Capturing Long Term Returns Across the EMD Space
- Managing a High Yield Portfolio at the End of the Credit Cycle
- Overseeing Allocations to High Yield, Bank Loans and CLOs
- Reducing the Climate Impact of Corporate Bond Portfolios
