Global fixed income primer
Plan sponsors are getting much more sophisticated when it comes
to their fixed income choices—some might say they are coming
of age. The elimination of the foreign property rule has also meant
that Canadian plan sponsors are facing a much larger, global universe
of choices. As they seek out the best new opportunities, many will
need a clear understanding in order to assess the plethora of fixed
income options out there.
To help them out, Canadian Investment Review asked three
top experts to put their heads together and come up with a primer
to help plan sponsors navigate an increasingly complex fixed income
landscape. The result—our Fixed Income Primer—aims to
bring their ideas and thoughts together. From basic terms to the
challenges of globalizing to the sophisticated world of CDOs, this
primer provides a step-by-step look at what investors need to know
about the fixed income universe.
