Janus Henderson Investors is delighted to invite you to the first in a three-part series of virtual events for 2021, with the Invested in Connecting Fixed Income Forum taking place on Thursday 4 February.
2020 was a turbulent, uncertain and volatile year. As we enter 2021, the Fixed Income Forum aims to capture and review a range of perspectives through a thoughtful and dynamic analysis of market events.
The day will feature our Fixed Income specialists as they analyze dominant themes we see across global markets, the importance of ESG in the investment process, as well as how they expect to position their portfolios for the new year ahead.
With 100 minutes of live sessions as well as on-demand videos from our Portfolio Managers, we aim to offer you engaging and insightful updates from the team through HEDx talks, market outlooks and live debates. All content will also be available to watch on the platform for up to one month after the event.
Janus Henderson Investors is also pleased to offer simultaneous translation in French, German and Spanish during the live sessions.
