About this episode

The episode discusses how inflation-linked bonds can serve as safe havens in a rising inflation environment.

With inflation expectations soaring, and fixed income yields rising with them, what safe havens does the bond market offer for capital in an environment of higher prices and geopolitical shocks? Seb Morton-Clark hears from two of Fidelity's fixed income portfolio managers - Ravin Seeneevassen and Tim Foster - about why they think markets are under-appreciating the risks and how inflation-linked bonds can help.
