Program Summary:
This program will provide advisors with a timely overview of the global fixed income landscape, including today’s interest rate environment, inflation expectations, central bank policies, and key regional and sector-specific dynamics. Participants will explore how geopolitical events and policy shifts are influencing bond markets and what those changes mean for portfolio construction and risk management. By understanding where risks and opportunities are emerging, advisors will be better equipped to guide clients through market uncertainty. The result is more thoughtful, well-diversified fixed income strategies that support client goals and build confidence in long-term decisions.
