| Dr. David Krause, Christi Kubiak and Amie Hahn |
On Friday, September 16, 2016, two guests visited campus from the fixed
income team of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. Christi Kubiak
(CFA), Director, and Amie Hahn (Marquette AIM 2007, MBA 2011, CFA), Director –
Credit Research in the Northwestern Mutual Investment Management Co. talked
with students about fixed income investing. This marks the 11th year that
personnel from Northwestern Mutual have visited Dr. Krause’s fixed income and
AIM classes at Marquette University.
Formerly known as Mason Street Advisors, the Northwestern Mutual
Investment Management team manages: Public Fixed Income and Derivatives for the NM’s General Account. Christi and Amie
work with public investments and their group manages portfolios with the goal
of outperforming market benchmarks over a full market cycle and industry peers
over the long-term. The team has over 50 investment professionals who manage
more than $100 billion in assets with each portfolio guided by investment
professionals who have specific, but linked, roles in distinguishing security
opportunities.

Dr. Krause, AIM program director said, “Christi and Amie did a
great job – as usual. They talked with the students about their investment
process and their approach to bottom’s up credit research. They employ a
combination of approaches including: Relative Value, Fair Value, and Internal
Ratings – to complement their strong Fundamental Credit Analysis.”
Chris
Swain, Vice President of NM’s Public Investments, Fixed Income Group, is also a
Marquette graduate and is the MBA instructor for Marquette’s fixed income
course in the spring semesters. Kristin Holzhauer, Zach Bloom, Ray Auth and Quinn Noel, other notable Marquette
alumni, were unable to participate this year; however, they have made frequent
visits to Dr. Krause’s classes in past years. We appreciate all of the support
of that Northwestern Mutual has provided Marquette and the AIM program over the
past decade.
