TOPIC: Welcome Back, Income

SPEAKER: Venk Reddy, Portfolio Manager, Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund and Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund

SUMMARY: 

Investors everywhere are asking the question: When will the economic cycle turn? But what if that’s the wrong question to ask?

Observations about past periods of inflation as well as structural and demographic changes affecting the investing landscape may be hinting more at a long-term paradigm shift than at a short-term cycle. If that turns out to be the case, investors may be facing a prolonged period of persistent headwinds which will require a change in mindset from a dependence on price appreciation to a focus on income.

During the presentation, Venk Reddy, Chief Investment Officer—Sustainable Credit at Osterweis Capital Management, will provide a data-driven picture of consumer prices, labor markets, and the last 40 years of capital market innovation which investors should consider when planning their portfolios for the next decade and beyond.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  1. When will the economy cycle turn

  2. Fed’s battle against inflation is likely to last longer than anticipated, which should keep rates higher over the near-to-medium term, learn how to create attractive opportunities for investors seeking income.

  3. Timeline of structural market tailwinds

  4. Appreciate income when prices stop appreciating

  5. The core fixed income portfolio of tomorrow will require a combination of yield and risk diversification
