U.S. structured product issuance has shifted since the COVID-19 pandemic began, with more products using options on the Russell 2000 and other previously underutilized indices. This Virtual Forum will include LT Grant of Protective Life, Sonin Kwon of MassMutual, Naren Karanam of Millennium and Scott Maidel of QVR Advisors, discussing the index-linked product lifecycle from issuance trends to hedging, market dislocations and investment opportunities. The insurance experts, hedgers and portfolio managers will offer their views on how the post-pandemic shift is playing out in their fields and how investors can best parlay the dislocations into trading and hedging opportunities.
