Practitioners’ Insights: Fixed Income Investing During an Economic Slowdown

  1. Tanay Dalal
  2. Shreenivas Kunte, CFA, CIPM

In this special webinar, Tanay Dalal explores the macroeconomic backdrop and how this information can be used to motivate investment themes.

Fixed income markets tend to do well in periods of weaker economic growth, given a reduced appetite for risk and rising expectations of policy support in the form of interest-rate cuts. However, each slowdown, and the subsequent policy and market responses, are different. Therefore, investors need to adopt the most appropriate approach if they want to maintain a balanced portfolio. Apart from being aware of macroeconomic factors, investment strategies also need to reflect institutional constraints and behaviour.

In this webinar, Tanay Dalal provides a simple framework that will help you to decipher the economic backdrop. He also explains how this information can be used to motivate investment themes.
