In this video, Ironshield Capital Management’s Founder, Managing Partner and CIO, David Nazar explains why the firm focuses on trading around defined credit events. He outlines how an emphasis on nearer-term catalysts allows Ironshield to remain nimble and liquid, typically repositioning the portfolio as events crystallise.
