The end of 'set and forget' for government bonds

Rathbones

“Bond vigilantes” are returning to global government bond markets, sending yields higher and making government debt more volatile. David Coombs, Head of Multi-Asset Investments, had already reduced the average time to maturity of the Fund’s bond holdings, focusing on income while avoiding large exposures to any single interest-rate outcome.
