On Friday, September 15, 2017, two alumni returned to campus from
the fixed income team of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

| Amie Hahn, David Krause and Kristin Holzhauer |
Amie
Hahn (Marquette AIM 2007, MBA 2011, CFA), Director – Credit Research, and Kristin
Holzhauer (Marquette AIM 2011, MBA 2014, CFA), Associate – Credit Research in
the Northwestern Mutual Investment Management Co. talked with students about
fixed income investing.
This marks the 12th 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.
Amie and Kristin 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 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, “Kristin and Amie did a
great job – as usual – they were able to bring the material to life with
real-world examples. They talked with the students about their investment
process and their approach to bottom’s up credit research, but more
importantly, they were able to give examples of how they apply their education
to their jobs. 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 has been an MBA instructor for
Marquette’s fixed income course. Christi Kubiak, an important friend of the AIM
program, was unable to attend this year’s presentation as she was in New York
at a conference. Krause concluded, “We appreciate all of the support of that
Northwestern Mutual has provided Marquette and the AIM program over the past
decade. It was great to see Amie and Kristin again - they continue to give back their time to support Marquette.”
