Big Call: Fixed Income ETFs

Presentation

With fixed income ETFs accounting for less than 1% of the overall bond market, the growth outlook over the next five years is huge. As investor demand increases, ETF issuers have started to move away from simple passive products into more niche areas of the market such as smart beta fixed income ETFs, an area of very interesting potential.

This online event will explore the different issues facing investors when looking to slice and dice the fixed income ETF market while also taking a deep dive into the macro outlook for the bond market.

The event is exclusively aimed at buy-side professionals.

Hosted by ETF Stream, this interactive conference provides a unique opportunity to engage with Europe’s leading investment professionals.

On November 4, at 4:55pm CET, Lionel Martellini, Professor of Finance, EDHEC Business School, and Director of EDHEC-Risk Institute, will give the keynote closing speech on the theme of ETF and Smart Beta and will unveil the results of the 13th EDHEC-Risk European ETF, Smart Beta and Factor Investing Survey.
