Special Edition Podcast Mini Series: 25 for 25 Episode 2

Hosts Winnie Cisar (Global Head of Strategy, CreditSights) and Zachary Griffiths, CFA (Head of US IG & Macro Strategy) are joined by Chris Snow (Global Head of Research), Pramod Shenoi (Head of Asia Pacific Research; Head of Financials, APAC), and Brian Studioso (Head of Research, Europe) for episode two of our 25 for 25 series on research amid times of crisis.

The team discusses how experience, independence, and hard work anchor CreditSights’ response to market shocks from the GFC to COVID-19 and recent policy-driven volatility. They weigh speed vs. quality in publishing, the value of trusted voices when liquidity thins, and why disciplined risk/reward frameworks matter when spreads are tight. Panelists share lessons on management quality, disclosure, and liquidity dynamics (“sell what you can”), how to call bottoms by tracking cross-segment flows, and partnering with clients to navigate dislocations. They also cover global perspective-sharing, team resilience, and practical advice for analysts facing today’s inflation vs. growth tensions.
