Navigating SA fixed income in a volatile world

In a market environment shaped by changing interest rates, economic uncertainty and evolving client needs, practical investment insights have never been more important. Through the Otto1890 Investment Specialists Four-Part Webinar Series, our specialists unpack relevant investment themes and portfolio strategies to help advisers navigate today's challenges with confidence.

Our second webinar in this series featured Arno Lawrenz, Chief Investment Officer, who explored how the Otto1890 FR Flexible Income Fund can be used to support client income needs while balancing capital stability, flexibility and active risk management through changing interest-rate and credit cycles.

The discussion examined why flexible income strategies remain relevant for retirees, pre-retirees and risk-aware investors, as well as how active management can help navigate interest-rate movements, credit cycles and periods of market volatility. Arno also unpacked how the Fund can be used as a core income holding, a stabilising allocation alongside growth assets or a complement to traditional money market and income funds.
