Webinar details
Fixed income investors increasingly face a common challenge: how to enhance income and return potential while preserving the diversification and stability that bonds can provide.
Join Dan Shaykevich, Principal, Senior Portfolio Manager, Head of Multi-Sector Strategy, and Co-Head of Emerging Market Debt with Vanguard Fixed Income Group, for a discussion on Vanguard's approach to active fixed income investing. Drawing on the resources of one of the world's largest fixed income managers, Dan will share insights into Vanguard's investment philosophy, collaborative investment process, and approach to generating diversified sources of alpha.
As one of the lead portfolio managers behind Vanguard's first active fixed income ETF in Canada, Dan will also discuss the role of Core-Plus investing and how Vanguard seeks to expand the opportunity set while maintaining many of the characteristics investors expect from a core bond allocation.
Topics we'll explore:
- Vanguard's approach to active fixed income investing and the capabilities of one of the world's largest fixed income managers in the world.
- The case for Core-Plus investing and how it seeks to balance core bond characteristics with a broader opportunity set.
- How diversified sources of alpha can contribute to portfolio outcomes across different market environments.
