Episode 67: Is fixed income dead? No, but you may want to look under the hood.


Maybe it’s time to take that fixed-income vehicle into the shop for a tune-up? Ace investment mechanics Dan Janis and Tom Goggins, from Manulife Investment Management’s Strategic Income team, join the Capital Markets Strategy team to answer questions around what’s happening in fixed-income markets, including:

  • Are fixed-income investments still worth holding?
  • What will the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve do to combat rising inflation?
  • How do emerging markets fit into the picture?
  • Where are investment opportunities presenting themselves?

And what does this have to do with college football great Paul “Bear” Bryant? Listen to find out.
