Webinar Description:
Inflation has already become one of the main talking points of the year. Earlier this year it reached levels not seen in three decades, posing questions for equity and fixed income investors alike.
In this exclusive webinar, our panel will take a look at the impact that inflation is having on investment markets, and what investors can do to help position their funds against it.
We’ll also discuss how long lasting it is likely to be and the differing fiscal responses from central banks around the world.
