  4. Is it time to revisit bonds?

    You see the interest rate predictions and talk of inflation in the news every day. What should clients do? Is it time to consider bonds?
     
    Join our webcast with Darcy Briggs, Senior Vice-President, Portfolio Manager, of the Franklin Canadian Core Plus Bond Fund, for insights on the impacts of interest rates and inflation movement on bond portfolios and how to navigate during this time of uncertainty.
     
    Darcy and the team skillfully combine Canadian core bonds with non-core fixed income opportunities to create a solution that is built around a foundation of high-quality Canadian bonds. They opportunistically add “off benchmark” securities for added yield and diversification.

  5. Now is a great time to look at bonds Bonds have a place in every investment portfolio. They help preserve capital and they offer predictable income. They help diversify portfolios and offer protection from both inflation and a volatile stock market.
     
    Over the past few years interest rates have been rising, which has created a great opportunity for bonds and bond funds. Rising interest rates have lowered the price of existing bonds and increased both the coupon rates for new bonds and yields on existing bonds. Plus, rising rates also create opportunities for capital gains if interest rates fall.
     
    Pivotal Select™ offers four great bond funds to help you diversify client assets. Three of the funds cover North American bonds, and one has a global focus. Learn more about these funds by visiting Equitable’s Fund Overview and Performance website.
     
    To learn why now might be the right time to revisit bonds for clients’ portfolios and more information about our funds, please contact your Director, Investment Sales.
