Action taken by central banks during the coronavirus crisis "challenges the fundamental building blocks" of diversification and balanced portfolios, according to the guests on the latest episode of the FTAdviser Podcast.
FTAdviser's special projects editor David Thorpe was joined by Iain Stealey, chief investment officer for international fixed income at JP Morgan Asset Management, James Klempster, investment director at Momentum Global Investment Management, and Alex Chartres, who jointly runs the Ruffer Total Return fund, to discuss the state of the fixed income market.
They discussed the effects on correlation and diversification of action by central banks to keep economies going during the coronavirus crisis, as well as whether bonds remain an income investment in light of their prices having risen sharply.
