Artemis: Corporate Bonds – the best buying opportunity in a decade?

With inflation so high, is there an opportunity to lock in yields now? Join Artemis’ head of fixed income on this webinar where he will present his views.

Investors remain very concerned about the high level of inflation in the UK and are looking for portfolio solutions. The Sterling Investment Grade bond market is facing one of its worst years since the Global Financial Crisis which had led to a huge re-pricing in for the asset class.

Stephen Snowden, Artemis’ head of fixed income will discuss the opportunity to lock in yields now that could provide some protection to investors’ portfolios going forward.

This live webinar will feature a short presentation by Stephen on the current thinking, portfolio positioning and a review of the team’s performance over the three years since they joined Artemis.

Risks specific to the Artemis Corporate Bond Fund

Market volatility risk: The value of a fund and any income from it can fall or rise because of movements in stockmarkets, currencies and interest rates, each of which can move irrationally and be affected unpredictably by diverse factors, including political and economic events.
Currency risk: The fund’s assets may be priced in currencies other than the fund base currency. Changes in currency exchange rates can therefore affect the fund's value.
Emerging markets risk: Compared to more established economies, investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater volatility due to differences in generally accepted accounting principles, less governed standards or from economic or political instability. Under certain market conditions assets may be difficult to sell.
Derivatives risk: The fund may invest in derivatives with the aim of profiting from falling (‘shorting’) as well as rising prices. Should the asset’s value vary in an unexpected way, the fund value will reduce.
Credit risk: Investments in bonds are affected by interest rates, inflation and credit ratings. It is possible that bond issuers will not pay interest or return the capital. All of these events can reduce the value of bonds held by the fund.
Bond liquidity risk: The fund holds bonds which could prove difficult to sell. As a result, the fund may have to lower the selling price, sell other investments or forego more appealing investment opportunities.

Investment in a fund concerns the acquisition of units/shares in the fund and not in the underlying assets of the fund.
