Arif Husain CIO, Head of International Fixed Income, Lead Portfolio Manager, discusses how Dynamic Global Bond Strategy may help investors in this challenging environment.
Why Now
Investors can no longer rely on the steady capital gains produced by global bonds during a four-decade-long bull market. Today, generating performance from global bonds requires a flexible approach and the ability to take opportunistic positions, including short exposure, across currency and credit markets.
The T. Rowe Price Dynamic Global Bond Strategy combines the key benefits of a traditional fixed income strategy with a flexible and dynamic approach. It aims to generate performance, regardless of the interest rate environment.
