VettaFi’s Fixed Income Symposium goes live today at 11:00 a.m. ET. The event will feature thought leaders and experts unpacking the nuances and complexities of the fixed income space. Accordingly, you can expect a range of topics.
The Fixed Income Symposium Agenda
Interest rates are top of mind and also top of the symposium. The first session will unpack the future of fixed income and answer key questions: Is inflation under control? When will the Fed start cutting rates? What’s the economic outlook for the remainder of the year?
From there, the symposium will explore the rise of actively managed fixed income and where there are opportunities with active fixed income ETFs. As active funds continue to see flows, it will be critical for advisors to understand how they can use active fixed income ETFs in their portfolio.
Rate Risk and Equity Income
Advisors largely feel that rates will be lower in one year’s time. Accordingly, the symposium will explore whether longer duration allocations are warranted and if investors should take on interest rate risk. Short-term cash could end up paying a lot less a year from now, and that could change where money is positioned on the yield curve.
Equities can also provide critical income in a falling-rate environment. Covered call strategies remain popular and could be a way to protect against downside risk, but how do they stack up against bond funds? The Fixed Income Symposium will conclude by exploring this topic. VettaFi’s Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth said, “Advisors continue to seek out income via ETFs in the second half of the year. I’m excited for VettaFi to talk to industry experts focused on active strategies across the landscape.”
