Trends Shaping Global Credit Markets
Tracy Alloway, Sir Michael Hintze, Paul Horvath, Steven Shapiro, David Warren, Michael Hintze
Senior secured floating-rate managers and credit strategists navigated a market characterized by a mid-to-late cycle risk profile and diverging equity-bond valuations by pivoting away from generic high-yield exposure toward distressed special situations and hard assets. Despite warnings that rising rates and thin subordination could stress lower-rated issuers, panelists identified attractive dislocations in emerging markets and complex restructurings while utilizing options to hedge systemic risk cheaply. These strategic shifts reflect a calculated approach to capitalizing on liquidity mismatches and negative convexity in an environment where quantitative tightening is increasing default probabilities.

The Age of Asset Management: Harbinger of Stability or Chaos?
Tracy Alloway, David Hunt, Jim McCaughan, Hilda Ochoa-Brillembourg, Ronald O'Hanley, Nouriel Roubini
Experts including Jim McCaughan, Hilda Ochoa-Brillemburg, and Nouriel Roubini analyze how post-crisis re-regulation has shifted global capital flows from bank-dominated systems to asset managers, creating a structural disconnect between macro liquidity and market execution. This transition has fostered a liquidity paradox where ETFs and algorithmic trading amplify volatility while the correlation between equities and bonds inverts, forcing active managers to seek alpha in illiquid sectors like emerging markets. Ultimately, the panel concludes that investors must adjust return expectations downward and that future systemic risks stem primarily from political balkanization, cyber threats, and the need for multilateral institutional reform to sustain global capital mobility.
