Fixed income remains a core component of portfolio construction for most investors, but the choices investors have today for generating stable income span from traditional public bonds to a variety of private market and hedge-fund-type alternatives. Hanif Mamdani, Managing Director and Head of Alternative Investments at RBC Global Asset Management Inc., weighs in on how investors should assess the ever-growing list of fixed income options.

Join Hanif, to learn about his approach to navigating the ever-evolving credit markets. Honed through four decades of experience, his insights bring a seasoned practitioner’s perspective to the credit markets, touching on several timely themes including:

·       Public vs. Private Credit – are you getting paid for reduced liquidity and less transparency?

·       Liquid “Alternative” Bond Funds – are they worth the complexity and higher cost?

·       Financing the once-in-a-generation AI build-out - a compelling credit opportunity or a looming risk?
