<p>Fixed Income Investment Management</p>

Course outline

This programme blends fixed income and asset allocation. Anchored in our latest outlooks and research, it builds a core understanding of global rates, credit, currencies and commodities, then applies strategic and tactical asset allocation principles. Through integrated fundamental and technical perspectives, participants work through hands‑on case studies on diversification, risk budgeting and dynamic rebalancing, learning to construct, evaluate and adapt portfolios.

Delegates will engage directly with J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Global Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities (GFICC) team across varying strategies, and with our Multi‑Asset Solutions (MAS) team for the asset allocation section—exploring research‑driven frameworks, long‑term capital market assumptions and practical risk tools to integrate cross‑asset views within governance‑ready portfolios.
