The changes wrought by the global pandemic on asset markets and economies are nowhere near an end. Is the recovery seen so far sustainable, or what’s in store for 2021? Should investors be preparing for inflation or deflation? And will fiscal policy be able to pick up the baton from a potentially exhausted monetary policy? These big macro questions would be searching at the best of times but framed by a health crisis that is reshaping economies, investors are having to be increasingly agile, not least when credit spreads and yields on traditional areas of fixed income are near historical lows.

Join Janus Henderson’s Global Head of Fixed Income and guest speakers for an engaging panel debate, which promises fresh perspectives for investors looking to diversify with alternative sources of income in this low rate environment, as well as practical insights on how to navigate the risks and opportunities ahead.
