How our investors seek opportunities in turbulent times.

Gone are the days when navigating volatility was something only equity investors had to do. The last few years have seen bond investors drawn into a world buffeted by geopolitics, aggressive central bank hiking and Western governments turning on the fiscal taps. 

In this webinar, Colin Reedie, Head of Active Strategies, and Matthew Rees, Head of Global Bond Strategies at LGIM, chat through the more volatile world of fixed income investing, where we are in the economic cycle, and the outlook for active fixed income investing more generally. 

Additional topics include: 

  • The background to the recent volatility in both sovereign bonds and credit 
  • Our investment process – riding the ups and downs of the economic cycle 
  • Mitigating risk – how we do it 
  • Where Colin and Matthew see potential opportunities in active fixed income. 

The session was moderated by Johan Klevenstedt, Head of Active Fixed Income Distribution at LGIM.

For professional investors only. Capital at risk.

Matthew Rees

Head of Global Bond Strategies

Matthew is head of the global bond strategies team, responsible for a team focused on a range of benchmarked and absolute return strategies. When he’s not plugged into his Bloomberg screen, he can often be found on a hockey pitch where he (just about) still runs around playing as well as coaching a number of junior hockey teams. This is a role he believes has prepared him more for tumultuous markets and adults than his 25 years of experience since qualifying as a chartered accountant in the mid 1990s.
