The Outlook for High Yield Bonds – a global perspective

With central banks continuing to hold interest rates at historically low levels, investors are showing strong interest in high yield bonds.  Some concerns have been raised, however, about issuers' ability to refinance maturing debt, a projected rise in default rates, and potential deterioration in new issue quality.  Martin Fridson will discuss the newest analytical methods for dealing with these issues.

Martin will give his speech in English. Following the presentation participants will be able to raise questions and discuss related items. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
