SWIP on Strategic Bond Investing

Sponsored by Scottish Widows Investment Partnership: The new SWIP Strategic Bond fund explained.

Thinking of investing in bonds? After a strong rally over the recent past, the sector is at a crossroads.

Sovereign bonds are under pressure as governments borrow more and investors worry if they can service their debts. But opportunities remain in the corporate sector where balance sheets are looking in good shape.  

Flexibility is the key to the bond markets today – hence the growing number of strategic bond funds which offer access to debt from both the investment grade and high-yield sectors.

In this new video from Citywire, Scottish Widows Investment Partnership managers Roger Webb and Luke Hickmore introduce their new fund. We also talk to fund buyers who deliver their opinion on the sector.
