Episode 42: Credit, Rates, Uncertainty and Opportunity -- Jon Duensing, Senior Managing Director, Head of Fixed Income, US, Director of Multi-Sector Fixed Income, and Portfolio Manager of Amundi US
If there’s any single word to sum up the current investment landscape, it’s got to be “uncertainty.” My guest for this episode of the Biltmore View is perfect for this environment. Jon Duensing is Sr. Managing Director, Portfolio Manager and Head of US Fixed Income at Amundi US. Amundi is the largest asset manager in Europe and one of the 10 biggest investment managers in the world. As I’ve gotten to know Jon, I’ve found him to be particularly insightful and pointed. As uncertainty in our economy grows, so does the risk, in particular for credit and rates. In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about the future of rates, credit spreads, home prices, auto loans, and even natural disasters and insurance. As we navigate the unpredictable, it’s great to have a seasoned captain like Jon at our side.
