Investment Grade Credit Outlook – Next Turns in the Corporate Credit Cycle
Date: Tuesday, October 24, 2017
Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm ET
DESCRIPTION
Change in the U.S. investment environment is inevitable as new market forces and potential government actions impact the investment environment. Corporate credit profiles have become stretched by a number of metrics, but a return of top- and bottom-line growth could reverse the worsening trends with respect to balance sheet leverage and interest coverage. Forthcoming changes will reveal winners and losers within the corporate universe. Conning experts from our portfolio management and corporate credit team will provide insight on these evolving changes and their implications for different corporate sectors.
