We invite you to watch our latest video featuring Chris Siniakov, portfolio manager of the Franklin Australian Absolute Return Bond Fund.

In the video, Siniakov says an uncertain interest rate environment is creating all sorts of problems for traditional fixed income managers and many investors could be staring down the barrel of negative returns on the defensive portion of their portfolios.

He is urging investors to consider moving their bond allocation to a fund with an absolute return investment philosophy to protect them from interest rate risk and even outperform in what stands to be a very tough environment.
