<p>CFA Society Toronto corporate sponsor Mawer Investment Management invites you to listen to this episode of The Art of Boring podcast. A year ago, global credit spreads were tight, and the risks that mattered most were barely in the headlines. Global credit analysts Sandro Morassutti and Marty Lee revisit these themes and assess how each has evolved: the debt funding the AI build-out, the credibility of the Fed and the U.S. government, and fiscal and geopolitical pressure. They explain why record corporate bond supply has not yet pushed spreads wider, why most of this year’s move has come from government yields rather than credit, and where they are finding value today. Above all, they return to a simple idea: the job is not to predict the next dislocation, but to be positioned with the quality and liquidity to act when one arrives. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="auto" href="https://lnkd.in/g7fYbUYJ">https://lnkd.in/g7fYbUYJ</a><br><br>Sponsored message from Mawer Investment Management</p>
