Listen on
Bond ratings have been mainly neutral over the past couple of quarters, but it remains to be seen if tariffs have an impact in the coming six months. In this episode of the Inside Active podcast, host David Cohne, mutual fund and active management analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence, and co-host Sam Geier, BI’s corporate credit strategist, spoke with Janet Rilling, head of the Plus Fixed Income team at Allspring Global Investments and a senior portfolio manager for the Core Plus Bond Fund (WIPIX) and Core Plus ETF (APLU), about the team’s multiple levers and unbiased approach to managing the portfolio and the components that make up its big-six macro framework. They also discussed why Allspring takes a six-month outlook instead of a three-to-five year view, and why now could be a good time to be in fixed income.
