We live in uncertain times : Geopolitical tensions and conflict, sticky inflation, and questions over Fed independence have left markets on edge and investors quizzing positioning for a new world order.

Typically, Fixed income provides a risk-off portfolio ballast and a reliable income stream, but with such uncertainty in the world’s reserve currency and its ripple impact,  how do investors position fixed income portfolios to navigate uncertainty and seize opportunities?

We welcome multi-asset fixed income leaders, Mike Riddell of Fidelity and Darpan Harar of Ninety One to look at markets from the top down, and bottom up, and there’s much to discuss:

• Macro and rates outlook: Decoding central bank signals and MAGA policy dynamics to see where risk and opportunity lies
• Credit across the spectrum: From investment grade to high yield and into asset backed, where is value most compelling?
• Black Swans, or White? :  How corporates and consumers are performing thru political and economic instability
• Currencies and geopolitics: From DM to EM how has the risk/ return landscape set?

We are delighted to welcome Phil Wellington, Portfolio Manager and FI lead at PortfolioMetrix to give the client view.
