We’ve seen a big shift in interest rates over the last 18 months with the benchmark US Treasury yields at levels not seen since 2007! This has led to sharp losses in certain areas of the bond market.

  • Regime changes in fixed income markets
  • Why we think it’s important to have a forward looking asset allocation process
  • Our approach to investing in bonds and how it differs from other investment managers
