Duration, risk and return: Positioning investment grade in an institutional portfolio
With markets volatile, lagging issuance and interest rates still a factor, fixed income investors need to consider all the angles. Still, overall, this is a constructive backdrop for credit. Fixed income investment director, Edward Harrold, will address some of the key questions on fixed income investors’ minds right now:
-
How will central banks’ policies impact interest rates and bond yields?
-
What are the prospects for global economic growth, and how might a potential recession affect corporate earnings and creditworthiness?
-
How will credit spreads evolve, particularly in light of ongoing market volatility and geopolitical tensions?
-
What are the expectations for inflation, and how will it influence real returns on investment-grade bonds?
-
Financials are among the largest issuers of corporate bonds. What is the state of the banking industry today?
-
How will ESG factors influence investment decisions and corporate bond performance?

Introduction to Private Credit Risk Sharing Transactions with Banks
Credit Risk Sharing (CRS), also known as SRT transactions, is getting increasing attention as one of the growing private credit asset classes. This type of securitisation is a way to share the credit risk that are on bank’s balance sheets, giving investors access to private credit exposures originated by leading bank originators. Already quite established in Europe, CRS is now growing rapidly in the US as well. This session will give insight in how these transaction work, the market dynamics and how PGGM has structured its investment process and due diligence.
