This week, we speak with Matt Eagan, portfolio manager and co-head of the full discretion team at Loomis Sayles & Co, where he is also a member of the board of directors. He joined Loomis Sayles in 1997 as a fixed-income research analyst for the multisector fixed-income team. Eagan is a co-founder of the Loomis Sayles Allies group and a member of the leadership council for Boston Scores. He is also a member of the Boston Economic Club and CFA Society Boston.
Eagan discusses how he fell into Fixed Income, starting his career under the legendary Dan Fuss. He also explains why Fixed Income is so tied to the macro side: Driving factors including Duration, Credit Risk, and Quality are dependent upon what is happening in the broader economic cycle.
A list of his favorite books is here; A transcript of our conversation is available here Monday.
