Details
Given the Federal Reserve’s recent hawkish pivot in guiding markets toward multiple rate hikes and potential balance sheet runoff in 2022 to mitigate persistently high inflation, the floating-rate bank loan market has garnered considerable investor attention. Against this backdrop, volatility has afflicted many asset classes across fixed income and equities. However, the leveraged credit market outlook remains fundamentally constructive, particularly for floating-rate bank loans. Leveraged loans have always provided a unique yield-duration profile, offering investors attractive income while partially hedging interest rate risk.
Please join as they discuss their views on several key topics including:
• Why consider floating-rate bank loans now
• Why leveraged loans deserve a strategic allocation in well diversified fixed income portfolios
• Credit landscape and future default expectations
• Libor transition progress and impact
• Capital market activity and opportunistic investment themes
