In his 3Q21 market commentary, Western Asset CIO Ken Leech discusses our flexibility in adjusting to the changing landscape, why we continue to be optimistic and where we see the best opportunities for yield. We believe fixed-income investments are an essential pillar of every successful long-term portfolio, regardless of the current market environment.
Ion Dan and Elliott Neumayer discuss the important role agency MBS can play in investors' overall fixed-income portfolios. Robert Abad describes how our Global Multi-Sector (GMS) strategy performed over the last year and why we believe it is currently well positioned. Michael Bazdarich takes a deep dive explaining the confluence of conditions we believe must be present before we see a sustained rise in inflation.
