GAIN PANEL DISCUSSION: HIGH YIELD BONDS & THE IMPACT OF THIS MARKET POST-PANDEMIC

Join SWIBF and our GAIN industry panelists for a discussion into the high yield bond market and the impact of this market post-pandemic.

Occupying the centre ground between investment grade bonds and equities from a risk-return perspective, high yield bonds offer the potential for diversification in a portfolio and have historically been less sensitive to interest rate risk. Our industry panelists will be exploring this market further and analysing what the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic has been on this market and predictions for the future.
