Andrew Putwain: Can you briefly introduce yourself and your role?

Thomas Arthur: I work for Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company. Our company is based in the Jackson, Mississippi metro area, and we do business in Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas, South Carolina, and Colorado.

I am the Investment Team Lead. I am the day-to-day Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, but I'm also responsible for tactical asset allocation, long-term investment strategy, and delivering the economic updates to the Board of Directors and Investment Committee. I cover a lot of ground in my role, and I'm still very much involved in the portfolio management level on a day-to-day basis.
