Why it’s worth going
This webinar offers finance students direct access to a senior portfolio manager at one of Canada’s largest asset managers, who oversees over $14 billion in high yield bonds and $1 billion in absolute return strategies as of August 31, 2026. The session addresses timely questions about credit market complexity that are increasingly relevant as students enter a profession where traditional fixed income investing is evolving rapidly. The opportunity to earn a Professional Learning credit while learning about alternative investments makes this particularly valuable for CFA candidates and those building careers in portfolio management.
Going in prepared
Register by September 24, 2026 to secure your spot, and ensure you have a stable internet connection for the live webinar.
