Fixed income markets are increasingly influenced by ETF flows, index construction and transparency. In some segments, passive exposure offers efficiency and liquidity. In others, dispersion and structural inefficiencies favour active management.
This session will examine how CIOs are assessing market conditions, liquidity profiles and risk concentration to determine where active management adds value and where passive exposure delivers greater efficiency and control.
