In describing the CFA event, the Society’s noted that it’s not
just that Dan Fuss has seen it all, it’s that he remembers it. The 83-year-old Mr. Fuss has managed through numerous
bond-market crises and his experiences with both high-yield bonds and the classic
mutual funds that he manages also provides the luncheon attendees with useful
guidance. While he has experienced periods of underperformance, he has always
bounced back with top-tier returns – earning him his deserved reputation as one
of the great fixed income managers.  |
| Dan Fuss and David Krause in 2016 |
Mr. Fuss says that while the biggest opportunities are over
for now, he thinks the fixed income market is almost back to what might be
considered normal, which means he still sees buying opportunities for selective
high-yield investors.
Dr. David Krause, AIM program director, and over a dozen
Marquette students are once again honored to be attending the event and sharing
time with Mr. Fuss. “We again plan on attending the CFA luncheon and expect
that Mr. Fuss will talk about market instability, the impact of the Trump
administration, how he feels about rising interest rates, Federal Reserve
policy and if junk bonds are worth buying now. It is always a treat to be with
Dan Fuss – he is a true legend in the investment world. Just think - the AIM students will have met with Warren Buffett and Dan Fuss within the past two months!”
