Fixed-Income Management 2008

Rethink Everything!

Hosted by the CFA Society of Orange County

About the Program

The unthinkable has occurred. Fixed-income securities once thought to provide minimal risk of principal impairment have suffered losses reaching hundreds of billions of dollars. Even some AAA rated bonds are in default with very low expected recovery values. For some, now is the time to rethink portfolio strategies. For others, now is the time to capitalize. Continued turmoil in the credit markets has created an environment ripe for astute value investors. Intrepid investors will wisely differentiate between fundamental credit and liquidity risks and profit from the opportunities created in today’s market — all while successfully avoiding the myriad pitfalls.

This year’s annual event offers a unique look at the current state of the fixed-income market and optimal strategies to take advantage of the many dislocations. Leading practitioners and researchers will discuss lessons learned from the credit crisis, address various approaches to adapting fundamental and quantitative analysis to the current environment, and explain the latest techniques for improving portfolio construction and risk management. At its core, this conference brings together speakers with diverse knowledge and experience who are focused on one goal — uncovering investment ideas and strategies that can be executed consistently and profitably to meet client objectives.

This event sells out each year — register early.
