Bentham Q1 2026 Webinar: The Yield Warrior
In a volatile start to 2026, Bentham Asset Management presents its Q1 2026 Webinar “The Yield Warrior: Navigating the Wasteland of Volatility”, examining the forces shaping global fixed interest and credit markets in the opening months of the year.
Drawing on a more turbulent macro backdrop, Chief Investment Officer Richard Quin and the Bentham investment team reflect on a quarter defined by shifting rate expectations, widening cross-asset dispersion and heightened geopolitical risk. With parallels to The Road Warrior, the focus has turned to securing sustainable “running yield” as markets contend with ongoing uncertainty.
The discussion reviews portfolio performance across Bentham’s multi-sector strategies – including the Global Income Fund, Global Opportunities Fund and Defensive Income Fund – and how positioning has evolved in response to changing credit and duration dynamics.
Richard also shares his latest outlook for the remainder of 2026, addressing the key drivers likely to influence interest rates and credit markets in the months ahead.
Key topics include:
- Bentham’s investment portfolio returns for Q1 2026
- Developments in global bond, fixed interest and credit markets
- Interest rate movements, credit spreads and macroeconomic trends
- Geopolitical developments, including the Middle East conflict and market implications
- Outlook for fixed interest and credit markets through 2026
This session provides valuable insights for investors navigating a more volatile environment, where income generation, risk management and active positioning remain critical.
