About the event
From Hikes to Cuts: Navigating market cycle with fixed income expert Thornburg
“The time has come for policy to adjust.” The statement marked the embarkment of a new monetary policy cycle of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve following one of the most aggressive hike cycles in the past three decades. Fixed income along with other risk-on assets such as emerging market equities and the small cap sector have since attracted much attention from investors as they have typically fared well under such market backdrop.
Endowus, in partnership with Thornburg Investment Management, a recognised fund manager renowned for its expertise in navigating the complexities of fixed-income markets, warmly invites you to this exclusive event dedicated to exploring income opportunities under the evolving investment landscape and how fixed income as an asset class can traverse across market cycles.
Join us on Nov 12, 2024 (Wednesday) from 6:00-8:00pm to hear from Edwin Ho, Senior Client Advisor at Endowus and Christian Hoffmann, Head of Fixed Income and Managing Director from Thornburg Investment Management, where the two experts will cover the implications of the recent monetary policy change, unique opportunities offered for strategic investment, strategies for optimising one’s portfolio to weather volatility amidst these shifts.
