Traditionally, bonds make for steady portfolios when equities falter and vice versa. But recently, South African bonds have surged at the same time as a resource-driven lift in the JSE All-Share Index, while global bonds have weakened.

In the sixth episode of our “The More You Know” vodcast series, Peter van der Ross, Deputy Head of STANLIB Multi-Asset, discusses the factors that have alarmed investors about global bonds and attracted investors, including global investors, to South African bonds this year. He also pinpoints the specific areas of the market that are most attractive to the team at present.
