Back to black:
The return of income

POST-EVENT

View Summary Report

The Income & Defensive Symposium explored the evolving landscape of portfolio construction, contextualising recent market shifts. As central banks transition away from quantitative easing to control inflation and manage balance sheets, the resulting quantitative tightening reshapes economic growth potential. Investors are now faced with a new environment of rising interest rates, where traditional income sources, such as cash and sovereign bonds, have re-emerged as viable options after a decade of suppressed yields.
