The conversation highlights the importance of taking initiative, making the most of ICMA’s global platform, and overcoming common barriers such as time constraints and balancing professional responsibilities with development opportunities. The discussion also reflects the long-term value of building strong professional relationships across firms and regions, and how ICMA Future Leaders helps connect emerging talent with senior industry leaders. Drawing on their own experiences, Alexander and Celia share practical insights on career progression, continuous learning, and navigating the realities of the industry, emphasising collaboration, resilience, and the role of networks in supporting sustainable career growth.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>992</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/fef6451e16b0b3c931cbc466c061977f.jpg"/><itunes:episode>478</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>ICMA podcast special: Middle East Crisis (Part 5)</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/icma-podcast-special-middle-east-crisis-part-5--71285450</link><description><![CDATA[This series explores the crisis in the Middle East and its impact on global markets.

Management and Investors Council (AMIC), ICMA's dedicated forum advocating the interests of buy-side members, including asset managers, institutional investors, private banks, pension funds, and insurance companies, among others. Returning for this episode are industry experts, Bob Parker, former Chairman of AMIC and Senior Adviser to ICMA, alongside Massimiliano Castelli, PhD MSc, Managing Director and Head of Strategy &amp; Advice at UBS Asset Management, who also serves as the Co-Chair of the AMIC Executive Committee. In this podcast, recorded on 10th January 2025, the team discussed: · How investors are handling the uncertainty of the policies of the incoming Trump administration. Are markets starting to discount potential policy changes? · Can China achieve 5% growth, and can deflation be curbed? · Expectations of Fed rate cuts. How other Central banks and notably the ECB might diverge from the Fed? · Why bond yields have increased · The status of budget problems in France and Spain. Will a new Government in Germany disrupt the Eurozone markets? · Valuations in US equity markets. Is there evidence of any "bubbles" in markets?

Returning for this episode are industry experts, Bob Parker, former Chairman of AMIC and Senior Adviser to ICMA, alongside Massimiliano Castelli, PhD MSc, Managing Director and Head of Strategy &amp; Advice at UBS Asset Management, who also serves as the Co-Chair of the AMIC Executive Committee. In this podcast, recorded on 22nd November, the team discussed the implications for geopolitics and markets following the election victory of Donal Trump’s Republican party in early November. Domestically, how might the policies he is believed to want to pursue affect the US economy and the markets? Does his agenda of import tariffs (especially upon China) signal that inflation will persist and perhaps worsen. And what does this mean for rates? Will long-term interest rates remain at higher levels, or can we expect them to fall once the post-election euphoria dissipates? In equity markets we’ve heard a lot about the “Trump trade”. What is it? Is this a prelude of what we can expect in the future? Or will the current market optimism eventually fade away once announced policies are rolled out? Outside of the US, the team also cover the upcoming election in Germany and their view on how the election might play out and the potential repercussions for economies and markets, in Germany, across the EU and beyond.

podcast with four Leading Law Firms is about the transition from legacy US dollar LIBOR to SOFR in the bond market. The background is that panel bank US dollar LIBOR ceased publication on 30 June, as planned. The FCA as global regulator of LIBOR has provided for synthetic US dollar LIBOR to be published for legacy transactions, including bonds, until 30 September 2024. Synthetic US dollar LIBOR provides a temporary bridge for legacy bonds to be transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR, the US dollar risk-free rate. Following an introduction from Paul Richards, Head of Market Practice &amp; Regulatory Policy at ICMA, the podcast consists of the following contributions from experts in four leading law firms: <ul><li>Catherine Wade of Linklaters on fallbacks in floating rate notes under English law  </li><li>Julia Machin of Clifford Chance on consent solicitations under English law  </li><li>Marcus Mackenzie of Freshfields on securitisations, including negative consents, under English law  </li><li>Amanda Thomas and Patrizia Pasqualini of Allen &amp; Overy on the relationship between transition under English law, the US LIBOR Act and other foreign laws  </li><li>And Neil Pallender of Linklaters on operational issues during the transition</li></ul>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">ICMA.podbean.com/96e85c96-fdc9-3c7b-bf66-d46dc062a6da</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Jul 2023 08:00:11 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/56124662/joint_podcast_on_legacy_us_dollar_libor_bond_transition_podcast_final_combined_version8d1ov.mp3" length="66448518" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>ICMA</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>This ICMA podcast with four Leading Law Firms is about the transition from legacy US dollar LIBOR to SOFR in the bond market.
