This is Masters in Business with Barry Rittoltz on Bloomberg Radio.

This week on the podcast, I have an extra special guest.

His name is Mike Swell.

He's the head of Fixed Income Portfolio Management at G-SAM.

That's Goldman Sachs Asset Management Group.

They run over $700 billion just on Fixed Income side.

And man, let me tell you, this is a master class in Fixed Income investing.

If you are interested in where to get yield, how to pursue it, what the risks are involved,

where there are the best opportunities for Fixed Income investing, where you're not getting

paid to take risk, I don't even know what else to say.

One of the most knowledgeable people I've ever heard in the Fixed Income space, I would

imagine you probably have to know a thing or two if you're going to run Fixed Income

for Goldman Sachs.

Absolutely, must listen, a fascinating, fascinating conversation.

I learned a ton of stuff, and I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable in the space.

I think that I'm going to listen to this episode repeatedly, just because it was so dense

and so filled with really fascinating information.

He's had a really intriguing career and has really put up some incredible insight and lots

of great numbers over the time.

G-Sam runs a variety of different mutual funds.

There are five or so that Swell is either in charge of supervising or a manager of

or a co-manager of.
