Most can agree that today’s environment makes allocating to fixed income a less than attractive idea. In this session, discuss how the current market environment is impacting portfolio construction and managing risk, along with the challenges and opportunities visible for the risk averse investor that is simply seeking “adequate returns.” Attendees will also talk through trends available that address low interest rates, correlation considerations, and how to standardize the investment process while giving larger clients a more custom feel.
This session is sponsored by Aptus Capital Advisors, LLC.
