Following the unusual sell-off of bonds in the first quarter of 2022, corporate bonds are now at their lowest prices in over a decade. But does this mean they’re riskier than ever? Darren Clipston, Senior Fixed Income Trader with Brandywine Global, explains why he believes credit spreads are not as elevated as usual and what this marker means for fixed income assets generally. You can leverage the expertise of Clipston and the Brandywine team for clients through the Canada Life Pathways Global Multi Sector Bond Fund.
