Webcast: Navigating A New Rates Regime
The stimulus actions employed by central banks since the start of the pandemic have dramatically altered the fixed income landscape. Are rates stuck near zero for the foreseeable future, or will inflation and a growing debt mountain force a continued rise higher?
With benchmark yields at historic lows, we think investors need to look beyond passive fixed income to reach their goals, Active fixed income managers may be in a better position to generate excess returns and higher yields by taking a broader view of the investment universe.
Please join Portfolio Managers Greg Wilensky, CFA, and Seth Meyer, CFA, as they discuss:
- Their current outlook for interest rates, inflation, credit and securitized markets
- How they are positioning portfolios to take advantage of the reopening of the global economy
- Why alpha rather than beta may better help investors reach their goals in today’s markets

Mortgage-backed securities: Priced for imperfection?
Head of U.S. Securitized Products John Kerschner and Portfolio Manager Nick Childs explain why they believe key risks are now largely priced in to fixed income markets, with selective areas – particularly mortgage-backed securities (MBS) – presenting an opportunity to provide favorable rick-adjusted returns.

Portfolio Manager and Research Analyst John Jordan says rising interest rates, large capital reserves, and secular tailwinds are helping to bolster the financials sector despite an uncertain economic outlook.
Return of the Bond Market: Better Income Opportunities?
Most investors incorporate bonds into a portfolio to provide diversification. Unfortunately, a smoother return path has not held true in recent years.
