With the historic low in interest rates and a changing geo-political landscape, institutional asset owners are under immense pressure to search for yield from their fixed income strategies whilst managing unknown risks. In reaction, emergence in new and innovative solutions, including multi-credit funds, factor based fixed income strategies and global fixed income solutions, have brought to market options many institutional investors are yet to explore.

The annual Fixed Income Investment Strategies, Europe 2017 report, will bring together heads of investment, pension managers, trustees, consultants and private wealth managers, to examine the impact of monetary policy changes in 2017, effect of European elections on fixed income markets, new portfolio additions, innovative technology as well as the role of emerging markets in a balanced portfolio.

A special report to precede the inaugural event, The Institutional Fixed Income Summit to be held in June 2018.
