Lonsec Retire Webinar – Rising Interest Rates: Understanding the Risk for Retirement Portfolios

June 22, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Lonsec Fund Managers Corporate Update

RECORDING is now available. See below.

With interest rates rising for the first time in ten years, there is uncertainty as to where this will land – and what this means for retirement portfolios.

While interest rate rises will be a welcome outcome for cash siting in bank accounts and term deposits, what will it mean for the bulk of your clients’ retirement portfolios when so much of income is sourced from assets such as property, equities, and fixed interest?

How do we expect bonds to perform in this environment of global instability, will REITs and property investments in general still provide a strong source of income? Or will the capital instability of your clients’ portfolios erode any benefit of rising yields?

This webinar brings together experts from Lonsec and fund managers to discuss how you can successfully manage your clients’ portfolios through this period and maintain your focus on the income and stability objectives of these portfolios.

There will be a dedicated Q&A session in the webinar
