Adam Abbas, Head of Fixed Income at Harris Associates, adviser to the Oakmark Funds, explains why it’s important to focus on what the data and fundamental bond research is telling his team – especially when market noise on inflation and the Fed is at deafening levels. He believes fixed income investing – and its stable coupons in today’s landscape of higher nominal yields – make it attractive for buy-and-hold investors, such as Oakmark.
Video highlights include Abbas’ perspectives on:
- Misconceptions of high inflation preventing fixed income investments from generating returns.
- Navigating interest rate volatility and market uncertainty.
- Credit valuations: are they too expensive?
- Expected real returns for buy and hold to maturity.
- The case for a long-term, fixed income investing view.
