Webinar: Short-duration bonds – perfectly poised?

The US Central bank has cut interest rates, and the Bank of England may follow in November. What will the impact be for investors in fixed income and more importantly what should investors do with their assets in market money and cash deposit funds?

Stephen Snowden

In this webinar, fund manager Stephen Snowden explains why a fund with its core in short-dated investment-grade bonds – but with the flexibility to enhance returns by taking selected exposure to other areas of the global bond market – may represent a sweet spot for cautious investors.  

Our rates expert, Liam O’Donnell, discusses how the divergence in policy between the world’s major central banks is creating rich opportunities for the Artemis Short-duration Strategic Bond Fund. 

The flexible nature of the fund means the managers can spread risk and enhance returns by taking directional and relative-value positions in credit and government bond markets worldwide.
