Ms. Aurelia Samuyenga, Fixed Interest Analyst at Old Mutual Investment Group, delivered a guest lecture on Fixed Interest Risk and Return during the second Career Fridays session held on 17 April 2026.
Her presentation provided students with an understanding around fixed-interest investments, including how to choose between different types of fixed-interest instruments, measure risk and return, and analyse bond pricing.
What was particularly engaging about the lecture was how the discussion moved beyond theory and encouraged practical thinking. Ms. Samuyenga challenged students to consider how fixed-interest investment principles are applied in real-world scenarios, helping them develop a deeper appreciation for the relationship between risk, return, and investment decision-making.
