Central banks were supposed to be returning towards normal monetary policy yet the economy and markets seem to have other ideas. In the space of a few months, nearly all the world’s major central banks have backtracked on their tightening rhetoric. The Absolute Return Income team at Janus Henderson had flagged this sea-change earlier this year, and in this webcast, portfolio manager Dan Siluk shares his views on what the future holds for fixed income and how the team navigates these conflicting signals. Areas covered include:
• An assessment of the macroeconomic environment for fixed income
• Where they see value on the yield curve and between markets
• An update on key developments within the portfolio
Economic data has been mixed of late, leading to a dovish rethink on central bank policy, contributing to lower yields on government bonds. Yields on high yield bonds are, therefore, looking even more attractive but with the corporate outlook less certain, investors are becoming more discerning. We anticipate greater dispersion of bond returns as the market places renewed focus on fundamentals and scepticism towards weaker balance sheets. In this webcast Seth Meyer and Tom Ross, managers of high yield strategies at Janus Henderson Investors, look at some of the forces driving the high yield market globally and how to navigate these challenging markets.
Janus Henderson experts Alex Crooke (equities), Michael Ho (multi asset/alternatives) and Jim Cielinski (fixed income) explore the key themes for the second half of 2019.

Mid-Year Market GPS - themes in focus:
• Disruption
