Title: Measuring Fixed Income Volatility
Duration: 1 Hour
The equity market has long had the VIX Index as a measure of its volatility and a benchmark for tracking future uncertainty in U.S. equity returns. Until recently, however, the fixed income market did not have suitable volatility measures that could address the market’s term and credit structure.
Join us for a webinar in which we will introduce four measures of fixed income volatility covering North American investment grade credit, North American high yield credit, 10-year U.S. Treasury and interest rate swap markets. Our panel of experts will discuss market dynamics, features of each index and their applications to portfolio management.
