Virtual Speaker Series - Careers in Credit Markets with Andrey Kuznetsov, Senior Portfolio Manager at Federated Hermes

Adjusting to the new normal in fixed income markets.

Fixed income markets experienced unprecedented moves at the start of 2020 as volatility hit all-time highs and challenging liquidity froze the funding markets for the corporate world. At the same time, the asset management industry had to adapt to the new #WFH world and make the necessary adjustments to continue generating alpha and fulfil the fiduciary duty of looking after the assets of clients. In this session, we will be discussing lessons learned from the recent volatility, the challenges of adapting to the new environment and how ESG integration is becoming the fastest-growing factor in fixed income investing. There will be a brief presentation followed by plenty of time for Q&A.

Meanwhile, you can read more about Andrey’s latest views in his weekly insights.
