Today, we are joined by Ned Oakley, Head of Absolute Returns and Portfolio Manager from Shenkman Capital management. In this episode, Ned discusses the fundamental dynamics of sub-investment grade credit markets and how opportunistic style credit investing can turn tight credit spreads into an opportunity. Ned expands on how Shenkman Capital’s opportunistic style credit investing approach aims to exploit mispriced event-driven opportunities across the corporate credit spectrum to deliver capital growth and consistent, compounding quarterly income. He also describes how Shenkman Capital’s large and experienced research team helps to limit the downside by adhering to deep fundamental credit research and constructing a portfolio of primarily long but also short positions.  

The host for this episode is Cameron Harris, Business Development Manager from Clearway Capital Solutions.
