Market volatility. Rate uncertainty. Bond liquidity. Defaults. Times are unpredictable for global bond investors.
Join us as S&P DJI hosts our 4^th Annual Municipal and Global Bond Forum that will explore the impact of economic and financial trends on Municipal and Global Bond markets. Hear industry experts share their ideas on how to navigate pitfalls and identify opportunities for bond investors against a backdrop of global growth uncertainty, market volatility, and Fed rate policy.

This year’s expanded two-part program includes:

Morning: Global Bond Forum- Global Bonds 2.0
Examine the growing transparency of the bond market, critically evaluate recent research around liquidity, and dissect bond duration target investing.
Afternoon: 4^th Annual Muni Bond Forum- Show Me the Muni
Explore the benefits of low-cost muni bond ETFs, whether liquidity in this market signals crisis or opportunity, the potential blowback from a Puerto Rico default, and muni laddering as a tool to deal with these issues.

Keynote speakers, Paul Sheard, Chief Global Economist and Head of Global Economics and Research at Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, and Richard Ravitch, former New York State Lieutenant Governor, will discuss the current state of the Global and U.S. economies and their direct and indirect impact on distinct segments of the bond market.
