Breakfast Briefing: When inflation is rising, expand your thinking
As living costs rise, use the power of investment to help your clients achieve their financial goals.
Join us for our upcoming Breakfast Briefing, 29 Nov 10am, to find out how you can help your clients navigate today’s tough environment with our range of long-term total return funds.
From equity income to inflation-linked bonds and real estate, we focus on assets with direct inflation linkage, or with underlying revenues that tend to hold up as the cost of living rises.
This is your chance to hear directly from abrdn investment specialists live and ask any questions you may have.

2022 saw the bond bubble burst as central banks hiked rates amid runaway inflation. Meanwhile floods, droughts and storms provided evidence of ongoing climate change, and a reminder of the importance of the transition to net zero.

Given that bonds have repriced, is now a good time to enter the fixed income market? Which bonds are attractive? And is it possible to play a part in the fight against climate change by investing in the asset class?

Join us to find out why we’re positive about the return potential within fixed income, and the opportunities to invest in decarbonisation.

When recession bites, small and medium sized companies usually suffer. However there is more to the story and those that ignore it might be missing out. Find out why by registering for our webinar.

Listen to Jamie Irvine, Samuel Grantham and Roger Webb discuss why now might be the time for your clients to consider credit.

Listen to our equity income fund managers, Matt Williams and Stuart Brown as they discuss how equity income could help your clients say ahead with a balanced strategy.

Fergus McCarthy will host a discussion with Paul Diggle who will give his macro overview on topics such as interest rates, US economy and the AI Boom. Adam Skerry will then give his inflationary perspective and dive into some of our products that could help cushion your clients portfolio in the year ahead.

With the Magnificent 7 dominating equity markets last year, investors are now exploring alternative sources of growth, not least within Smaller Companies.

Despite being perceived as higher risk, history shows that Smaller Companies can deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns over time. Additionally, an active investment approach that focuses on high-quality companies exposed to structural growth trends can also help investors mitigate market volatility and uncertainty. Considering these points in current market conditions, this is why we believe now is the time to bring Smaller Companies into focus.

Brett Diment, Siddharth Dahiya and Kieran Curtis will join a panel discussion talking about how you could help your clients unlock opportunities in Emerging Market Debt.

Many of today’s investors have substantial cash allocations that are designed to deliver yield, reduce risk and/or help with liquidity. But what happens when interest rates start to go down and yields on cash start to fall?

Join abrdn Investments Fixed Income Investment Director Mark Munro and Global Head of Loans, Paul Mehta, as they explains the benefits of two global ‘best ideas’ outcome-oriented fixed income solutions, the abrdn Global Income Bond Fund and abrdn Short Dated Enhanced Income Fund.

If you want to lock in a higher level of income for your clients without exposing them to higher levels of volatility either of these funds might be worthy of consideration.
