In an era of shifting market regimes and heightened geopolitical volatility, traditional fixed income diversification is no longer a "set and forget" strategy.

As correlations evolve and public credit markets become increasingly efficient, many allocators find themselves over-reliant on exposures "priced to perfection." To build truly resilient portfolios, investors must look beyond headline spreads to identify the mispriced opportunities that offer genuine, low-correlation returns.

Join CFA Society San Francisco and experts from Artisan Partners - the Artisan Credit and EMsights teams - for a deep dive into the evolving landscape of U.S. below-investment-grade credit and global debt. This session explores how disciplined, active management can uncover differentiated value in today's complex markets.

Key Discussion Topics:
  • Debunking Asset Class Myths: Addressing common misperceptions surrounding bank loans, high-yield, and emerging market debt.

  • The Power of Active Management: How to capitalize on idiosyncratic opportunities to improve risk-adjusted outcomes.

  • Current Market Outlook: Pinpointing where value resides today—looking far beyond the surface of headline spreads.

  • Portfolio Resilience: Strategies for delivering returns that outpace broad market indices amid global uncertainty.

Whether you are an institutional allocator, a portfolio manager, or a wealth advisor navigating today’s complex credit landscape, this session provides the actionable insights necessary to strengthen your fixed income strategy. Join us to move beyond standard market benchmarks and discover how active, differentiated approaches build lasting portfolio resilience—register now to secure your spot.
