As interest rates fell over the last decade, investors sold their fixed income portfolios and sought yield in property, equity and other higher risk sectors. Now rates are normalising, a defensive holding in your portfolio becomes much more attractive.

  • How dramatic rate rises have affected fixed income and other asset classes
  • The 101 of investing in fixed income assets 
  • His outlook for rates, the property market and broader asset prices, and 
  • His preferred opportunities in hybrids, corporate debt and more.
