Fixed-income management has evolved out of a relatively tame past of laddered portfolios into one of today's most dynamic areas of investing. Shifts in the borrowing needs of corporations and governments, the creation of new fixed-income products, and generally lower global interest rates have kept managers on their toes in terms of asset allocation, credit analysis, and benchmark composition issues. Recent market crises have led to an increased emphasis on risk management as managers and investors explore various ways to add value to fixed-income portfolios outside the traditional fixed-income sectors. In this proceedings, leading practitioners and academics not only offer insights about the big picture; they also focus on crafting effective solutions to practitioner-oriented problems by frequently describing in considerable detail the approaches used by their own firms.
