Rethinking Credit Allocations: Building More Resilient Portfolios in Public Markets | 🎙️ Speakers: John Ebeling: https://buff.ly/VbLv7Jn | Michael Fontaine: https://buff.ly/HG9OIpC

As market regimes shift and correlations that once anchored fixed income diversification grow less predictable, allocators face a harder question: is a portfolio built for the last cycle equipped for this one? Heightened geopolitical uncertainty and volatility have exposed a gap in how many investors think about public credit, often anchored to spread levels while overlooking a broader opportunity set that hasn't been "priced to perfection."

Join the Artisan Credit and EMsights teams for a candid discussion on idiosyncratic strategies across primarily U.S. public below investment grade credit and global debt, designed to deliver low correlation and compelling risk-adjusted returns relative to broad market indices.

🤝 Private Wealth Round Table & Social | Thu, Sep 17 | 5:30-7:30 PM | New Park Brewing – Barrel Room (W. Hartford) | RSVP: https://buff.ly/gMshrad

Join for an evening built for real conversation, not another panel discussion.

We're pairing a substantive, small-group round table with a genuine social hour, giving both the depth and the connection room to breathe. The first half puts attendees seated directly with private wealth advisors (no stage, no panel) for a moderated discussion on the issues shaping client relationships right now: navigating client anxiety amid market volatility, estate planning ahead of shifting tax policy, and working with next-gen and inheriting clients.

💬 Have a question you want addressed? Add it when you register, and we'll work it into the discussion.

Then the evening shifts gears. Fresh drinks and apps come out for an open social built around a Client Persona mixer: each attendee gets a name tag paired with a quirky fictional client (think "Just inherited $2M and terrified of it" or "Retiring in 6 months, wants to buy a vineyard"). Circulate, meet other advisors, and find the "client" you'd most want to work with, or trade notes on how you'd handle them.
