Understanding Securitized Products: Their Value in Today's Fixed Income Market

Session Summary: This session demystifies securitized instruments and highlights their expanding role in both financing the U.S. economy and as an investment for institutional fixed income portfolios. Attendees will explore how asset-securities (ABS), residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities (RMBS and CMBS), and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) can enhance diversification, improve risk-adjusted returns, and offer structural protections beyond those found in traditional corporate bonds.
