Bentham Q2 2025 Webinar: The Trump-man Show Act 2

14 August 2025

In a quarter marked by market volatility and shifting geopolitical currents, Bentham Asset Management presents “The Trump-man Show – Act 2”, a webinar examining the forces shaping global credit markets in Q2 2025.

Drawing inspiration from The Truman Show, Chief Investment Officer Richard Quin and the Bentham investment team analyse how Trumponomics, evolving trade policies, and geopolitical developments are influencing fixed interest and credit strategies worldwide.

The discussion reviews portfolio performance across Bentham’s multi-sector funds, including the Global Income Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, and Defensive Income Fund, highlighting strong relative returns and long-term performance resilience. Richard also shares the firm’s cautious positioning, with increased exposure to high-quality government bonds, reduced credit risk, and selective long-duration holdings in markets such as Australia, the UK, and New Zealand.

Key topics include:

  • Developments in global bond, fixed interest, and global credit markets in Q2 2025
  • Performance review of Bentham’s investment strategies
  • Outlook for interest rate trajectories and credit market spreads
  • Sector and asset class positioning for the remainder of 2025

This session offers valuable insights for investors seeking to navigate a late-cycle environment while positioning for opportunities in an uncertain macroeconomic climate.
