In this manager conversation, Sightline Wealth Management’s Warren Gerow and Etienne Bordeleau-Labrecque, vice president and portfolio manager of Ninepoint Partners, return to discuss the Central Bank’s most recent position on interest rates, the global context, and the Fixed Income outlook for 2024.
Specifically, Gerow and Bordeleau-Labrecque discuss:
- Central Banks are done with rate hikes.
- The next step is cutting rates, the extent of which will depend on the strength of the economy.
- The weaker the economy, the faster and deeper the cuts.
- We don’t expect any changes to rates until Q2/Q3 2024, at the earliest.
- Bonds have had a couple of bad years, but the opportunities in Fixed Income look positive for at least the next two years.
Throughout the conversation, Bordeleau-Labrecque discusses how bond portfolios promise to continue their strong run into 2024. If you are interested in exploring unique, actively-managed fixed income investments, you may want to have a look at the Ninepoint Diversified Bond Fund, Ninepoint Credit Income Opportunities Fund and Ninepoint Alternative Credit Opportunities Fund.
