Staying positive in a challenging environment
Bond markets have navigated a host of buzzwords over the past two years following the Covid contagion. Reflation, inflation, pivot, hard landing and recession are just some of them. The focus of policymakers has swung between concerns about growth at the height of the pandemic to containing spiralling inflation amid a volatile geopolitical environment. Fixed income markets have faced turbulence as central banks aggressively raised rates. Mark Nash, Investment Manager, Fixed Income -Absolute return, will explain why he believes a flexible approach is best suited for tackling this challenging macro backdrop.
