Navigating rates (60-minute CPD)

PIMCO’s Market Intelligence series aims to help you expand your knowledge of fixed income and the global markets through several easy-to-follow educational series. Each series is endorsed by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) for structured CPD, and provides engaging tools to help guide your conversations with clients.

Learn to explain to investors how interest rates are determined, examine the close relationship between interest rates and bonds, and discuss interest rate risk within the context of your investor’s portfolio.

When it comes to bonds, the role of interest rates is often less well understood. For this critical knowledge, it’s important to examine how rates can affect performance, how duration can present variables, the impact of inflation, and determining what to do when rates rise. In this series, we’ll explore 5 themes involving the effects of interest rates on bonds.
