The private label CMBS market is no stranger to financial storms from the Great Financial Crisis in 2008 to the recent unprecedented lull in issuances in the post-pandemic era.

The primary market in Convertible Bonds has, like many other asset classes, seen mixed fortunes in recent times. Near record issuance in ’20 & ’21 reversed in ’22 but we are seeing signs of a recovery in the primary market to around average levels this year. We’re also seeing geographical shifts with the Chinese market slowly opening to international investment. 

Against this backdrop, the classic convertible issuer segments of hi-tech and bioscience are likely to see significant growth in the coming years. So, these factors coupled with an upside in participation and downside protection intrinsic to the asset class has investor appeal in turbulent times.

In response Yield Book, An LSEG Business has added Convertible Bond Analytics to its platform so please join us on 27 June 2023 at 15:00 UK/10:00 ET to learn about:
- Convertibles as an asset class
- The challenges of convertibles
- Convertibles across LSEG
- Opportunities from convertible bonds analytics

Presented by:
- Paolo Angeles, Innovation Analytics Product Lead
- Paul Jackson, Hybrid Analytics
- Irina Ons Vilaboa, CFA, Senior Benchmarks Manager, Convertibles

How the Russell Indexes deliver an objective view of the ever-changing US equity market.

Russell Reconstitution, which occurs each year in June, is a top-to-bottom recalibration of the US equity market benchmarks and the membership of the entire Russell series of indexes. Reconstitution ensures that the indexes continue to accurately reflect the current state of equity markets and their market capitalization segments (large cap, mid cap, small cap, micro-cap), industry breakdowns and style structure. Given this continual evolution of the equity markets, the annual Russell Reconstitution:

- Ensures the Russell Indexes deliver an objective, accurate and transparent view of the equity opportunity set
- Establishes new thresholds for market capitalization size segments
- Adjusts where companies lie along the growth/value and defensive/dynamic style continuums

This highly anticipated event is closely tracked by professional money managers as they rebalance their portfolios with the goal of minimizing unwanted benchmark risk. Other close observers include brokerage houses, who, in the weeks leading up to Reconstitution, prepare for large blocks of trades by researching and reporting on the shifts that may occur, managing their inventory accordingly.

Russell US: Mapping the US Equity Market since 1984  [a webinar with iShares]

Dividends are a tool that both income-seeking and capital growth-seeking equity investors can use. As populations are aging in most developed countries, as well as in large emerging nations such as China, the investment priorities of people nearing or in retirement tend to be skewed more toward income-generation and capital preservation than capital appreciation.

These issues, in turn, have fuelled a global investor flight to less volatile, perceived ‘safer’ assets, driving demand for government bonds, higher-quality corporate credit and stable, high-dividend-paying equities.

Additionally, the yield that dividends can add to a portfolio cannot be underestimated by investors who are looking for capital growth, as dividends represent a significant part of total return. Over the past ten years, reinvested dividend income has accounted for approximately 50% of returns of the FTSE All-Share and the EURO STOXX indices, on average.

A quality overlay can further improve the yield of an equity income strategy by avoiding speculative growth and value traps with poor fundamentals and weak growth prospects.

Join experts from Legal & General Investment Management’s ETF team and FTSE Russell as they discuss:
• How to identify equity with strong dividend characteristics
• The construction of the FTSE Dividend Growth with Quality Index Series
• Perspectives for global equity income
• Potential benefits of achieving such exposure via an ETF

* Note that this webinar is addressed exclusively to professional investors in EMEA and/or jurisdictions where the mentioned investment products are approved for distribution.
