My guest today is Adam Abbas, Portfolio Manager and Head of Fixed Income at Oakmark. After recording over a hundred podcasts, I was thrilled to finally chat with another Fixed Income manager. We start with some valuable lessons from investing in the TMT sector, the impact of zero interest rates, and the role of monetary policy in the credit markets. We then explore today’s opportunities in fixed income, the growing influence of private credit, and the thinking behind launching a fund at Oakmark. Please enjoy this conversation with Adam Abbas.
