Today’s Q3 Fixed Income Symposium goes live at 11am ET. Making fixed income allocations has been more complicated than ever in recent years. As we come to the end of 2025, it’s a daunting task. Inflation remains persistent. Rates changes going forward remain ambiguous. Accordingly, advisors need to hear about the tools and strategies available from the experts to make the best possible decisions for their clients.
“With the Fed having lowered interest rates yesterday, many advisors wonder what monetary policy will look like in the fourth quarter and in 2026,” said VettaFi head of research, Todd Rosenbluth.. “Thankfully we are bringing in some of the brightest in the fixed income market to help us answer questions.”
Rates Top of Mind for Investors
Just yesterday the Fed cut rates by 25 bps. But questions remain. Where will interest rates go from here? What role will politics play and how will that impact Fed decisions going forward? Interest rate risk can be a powerful tool, but should investors take it on? It can, after all, lead to big losses managed poorly.
Experts will be on hand to offer their analysis and illuminate paths forward for investors.
Getting Out of Cash and Back Into Action
With so many investors sitting in cash due to ongoing economic uncertainty, finding a way to put that money to work is paramount. Despite the current state of the markets and the uncertainty due to geopolitical shifts, inflation, and political upheaval, investors have options worth considering that could be more beneficial to them than simply sitting on cash.
Looking at Fixed Income Tools
Investors have a lot of options to explore when it comes to their portfolios. Securitized debt is one such tool. The symposium will cover the key sectors from the consumer and commercial credit landscape and explore the market’s impact on residential mortgage-backed securities.
Additionally, the symposium will look at munis, which offer unique tax advantages and could be a compelling component of an income portfolio.
Finally, the symposium will help advisors better understand the role of active management in the fixed income space.
