Day 1 | 15th October

12:00 PM Portfolio Strategy Panel: Traditional and alternative portfolio construction: How can you proactively manage geopolitical and market risks to protect fixed income portfolios?

In 2024, fixed income markets faced heightened volatility as China’s U.S. Treasury holdings hit 15-year low and bond-equity correlations turn positive amid inflation above 3%. Traditional diversification strategies are being tested, prompting investors to seek alternative approaches to risk management and hedging, such as private credit. This panel will explore how investors can adapt to global instability by integrating private credit into their portfolios to optimise portfolio positioning and enhance diversification strategies.

Day 2 | 16th October

10:10 AM Responsible Investing Panel: Sustainable Investing 2.0: How can you re-think ESG value in European Fixed Income to enhance performance, mitigate risks, and uncover new opportunities?

This panel will explore the tangible benefits of integrating ESG into fixed income strategies, including its impact on returns, market trends, and long-term resilience. Experts will share insights on how sustainability is shaping credit markets, influencing issuer behavior, and driving value for investors.
