In today’s fast-moving market, meeting your clients’ income needs requires dynamic strategies that can adapt to a rapidly changing investment backdrop. Multi-asset credit (MAC) strategies provide a flexible approach to income generation by tapping into diverse traditional and alternative sources of global credit. In this webinar, which aired live on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at 1:00pm ET, you’ll gain insight into income-driven strategies and the role they play in portfolios.

Our session will begin with a macroeconomic outlook from Macan Nia, who will bring you our latest views on key trends shaping the fixed-income landscape. This will be followed by an engaging fireside chat between Jordy Chilcott and Craig Scordellis, focusing on our new Manulife CQS Multi Asset Credit Fund. They’ll discuss the importance of building a globally diversified credit portfolio and how our new offering is a differentiator which can help investors access high yield levels of income while mitigating risk, all in a single mutual fund with a low-risk rating that’s geographically agnostic. Jordy and Craig will also explain why the concept of relative value is key to generating alpha and how it informs the fund’s strategic focus on European credit. 

This is a unique opportunity to enhance your expertise and harness multi-asset credit strategies to better serve your clients’ evolving needs. Don’t miss out!
