What has happened since?For listeners who are not familiar with SSLs, can you break it down for us? How have SSLs compared next to US treasuries in that time? How do loans compare to, say, corporate bonds? In the event of default, what happens to SSLs across the credit stack?What credit metrics are assessed by the Invesco team? What would a typical analyst working on the SSL desk be looking at day-in, day-out? Given the team uses both bottom-up and top-down, how are macro risks deflected? Are there industries you avoid? Market segments that are uninvestable? Rates going up sounds good for floating rates, but doesn’t that mean higher defaults?Last year you called it a ‘once in a generation’ opportunity. Where does the current opportunity sit?I’d like to shift gears towards 3 names in the portfolio listeners might be familiar with. Can you walk us through businesses, what they do, how they make money, and metrics you have on their size? What’s one book/podcast you wish you read/listened to earlier in your career?What’s been your best investment of all time?Resources you'll love Rask Invest - Invest with Owen: https://bit.ly/R-invest Mortgage Broking: https://bit.ly/broke-rask Financial Planning: https://bit.ly/R-plan Property Coaching: https://bit.ly/R-P-coach Business Coaching: https://bit.ly/o-coach Ask a question: https://bit.ly/3QtiY00 DISCLAIMER: This podcast contains general financial information only.
