SPS Optimising Value in Bonds for Pension Funds
September 2, 2021
The Dilly, London
Purpose
This conference will examine a range of bond investment options designed to enable pension funds to add value as well as to achieve specific goals such as improving returns, generating cash flows and reducing volatility. We seek to include analysis of how such goals performed under the extreme conditions of 2020 and if there are lessons to draw from this, as well as practical issues such as implementation, fees, transparency, ESG compliance, regulation, income, credit risk, liquidity, interest rates and geopolitical impacts.

Capturing Income and Capital Gain Opportunities as we Invest in a Post-Pandemic World
-
Following global government responses to Covid-19, credit markets continue to face headwinds.
-
Investors searching for income face a stark choice between low yielding equities and investment grade bonds, which carry little forward-looking income and high interest rate sensitivity.
-
We believe liquid multi-asset credit offers a third way that can deliver high income and capture relative value opportunities for investors, while mitigating loss risk from defaults through fundamental analysis.

Therefore if you are not already receiving an invitation please contact us. A limited number of Complimentary invitations are available to genuine pension fund representatives (executives and trustees) and other approved institutional investors. However, to ensure we have room for as many funds as possible, we have to limit free places to 3 attendees per approved organisation thereafter a reduced rate fee is payable per delegate. Furthermore, SPS always reserves the right of admission (free or paid) and our decision is final.
