It is well known that Asian fixed income assets offer higher yield pick-up compared to peers but if you look beneath the surface, there are other dynamics taking shape today which adds to the appeal of this market.
The faster rebound in Asian markets following the onset of Covid-19, along with the increasing breadth and depth of issuers in this space, is propelling the growth of the Asian credit market. This growth is presenting emerging opportunities as it further matures and develops. And as the Chinese economy continues to grow and the financial market continues to evolve, this gives rise to an opportunity set with huge growth potential and attractive investment opportunities.
This session will bring together leading investment experts to explore how one can find opportunities beyond the obvious.
