Show Notes
With the recent announcement of a major student loan forgiveness program in the U.S., we dissect the program and its implications for fixed income investors. PGIM Fixed Income's Florence Chan, Head of ABS Research, and Scott Motta, of the Securitized Products portfolio team, are here to sort through all the details, including:
- a brief history of student loans in the U.S.;
- details on the new loan forgiveness program;
- thoughts on the economic and inflationary impact of the program;
- characteristics of the student loan asset back securities (SLABS) market; and
- how PGIM Fixed Income views and has been positioning ourselves within the SLABS market.
