Desmond Lawrence

Senior Investment Strategist State Street Global Advisors

Day 1 | 15th October

11:50 AM Portfolio Strategy Panel: Traditional and alternative portfolio construction: How can you proactively manage geopolitical, market risks, and leverage private credit 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.
