From fears of a double-dip recession in the US to concerns about growth in emerging markets and sovereign debt woes in Europe, the global fixed income markets have endured a tumultuous year. But in the wake of uncertainty, investors see opportunity, though in an era of shorter and more volatile economic cycles, these opportunities can be short-lived. So fixed income managers need to be nimble and flexible in following trends.

So what are the high points today? Fixed income managers see positive fundamentals in US corporate bonds. Companies are in better health today than prior to the 2008 crisis. Those with strong balance sheets and flexibility will likely do well. Emerging market debt continues to grow in importance for fixed income investors, but investors are now looking more closely at each economy to judge its growth prospects. And after some years in the doldrums, a variety of structured credit products are now attracting manager attention, particularly the higher tranches of mortgage-backed and collateralized loan obligation structures, and other asset-backed securities.

Concerns remain in global fixed income markets, though, thanks to continued difficulties in Europe and US fiscal policy. This webinar will help investors navigate the rocky waters of fixed income investing, answering questions such as:

• What are the main risks faced by fixed income investors?
• Will emerging market debt continue to provide growth and returns to fixed income investors?
• How should investors view the sovereign debt problems in Europe?
• Is the US headed for a double dip recession and how will this affect fixed income markets?
• What are the bright spots in the corporate credit market in the US?
• Is securitization due for a comeback?
• Will corporate bond issuance rise in the near term to feed investor demand?
