In-Person Event | Beyond the Rate Debate: Where Fixed Income Opportunities Lie

Fixed income markets have seen heightened volatility this year, driven by market’s uncertainty around future interest rate trajectory. 

As we look ahead, how should investors navigate the complex macroeconomic landscape? Fear of sticky inflation, prolonged geopolitical conflict, new leadership at the Federal Reserve, and shifting rate and growth expectations continue to shape the outlook for global rates and credit markets.

Yet, with starting yields remaining well above historical averages, fixed income continues to present compelling value for investors seeking consistent cash flow and income.

To unpack these questions, Endowus warmly invites you to an exclusive in-person session,  Beyond the Rate Debate: Where Fixed Income Opportunities Lie, on 28 August 2026 (Friday).

Endowus Senior Investment Lead Yulin Liu will host an expert panel featuring, Evert Giesen, Credit Portfolio Manager at Robeco, Jingjing Huang, Senior Vice President & Product Strategist at PIMCO, and Kelvin Heng, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Manager, Fixed Income at MetLife Investment Management to discuss where yield opportunities lie and how to build a resilient bond portfolio for the road ahead.
