Fund Group Workshop
High yielding strategies, still the right value proposition?
Market context: what is priced in and what is not? It's important to consider the real risk you're taking when investing in the credit markets. Investment Grade or High Yield, senior or subordinated debt, cyclical or non-cyclical sectors, short or long duration - what is the best approach for investors to consider?
We develop and describe high-yield strategies. How, over a medium- to long-term horizon, it makes sense to be invested. We'll also answer the following questions: Why is this the right entry point? How does carry protect you?
Workshop Objectives: Uncertainties are not always synonymous of “not investing or taking no risk”. Uncertainties brings volatility and opportunities. Credit markets are large enough to be able to propose specific solutions to current context.

Convertible Bonds: Built for Market Turbulence
Thanks to their hybrid structure, convertible bonds (CBs) combine the security of bonds with the upside potential of equities. They act as shock absorbers during market downturns while allowing investors to benefit from rebounds – making them a compelling tool in volatile markets.

Workshop Objectives: Attendees will gain insight into why convertible bonds thrive in uncertain markets, and how investors can harness this hybrid asset class to cushion portfolios and capture upside in volatile conditions.
