Episode 6 - Understanding the Stagflation Threat
Tuesday Feb 25, 2025
Tuesday Feb 25, 2025
In this episode of Top of the Swaps, Andrew Madigan, Head of Client Investment Strategy at Atlantic House, and Jack Roberts, Fund Manager of the Dynamic Duration Fund and Balanced Return, delve into the topic of stagflation. They explore whether stagflation is already here or looming on the horizon, discussing its potential impacts on private client portfolios and strategies to mitigate its effects.
Stagflation is characterized by rising inflation and economic slowdown, reminiscent of the 1970s. Andrew and Jack discuss historical instances, current signs in the UK, and the challenges investors face in protecting their portfolios against such an environment. They explore the implications for the yield curve and potential responses by the Bank of England.
Jack shares insights into managing bond funds in times of low growth and high prices, and the potential tools available, such as inflation-linked bonds and swaps, to shield against stagflation. Additionally, they analyze the behavior of risk in portfolios, the role of equities versus bonds, and the importance of diversifying investment strategies.
Listen in to gain valuable insights as Andrew and Jack provide a comprehensive overview of how to approach and navigate through potential stagflation as a private investor.
