Investors prepared to actively invest beyond traditional Australian fixed income assets can find a better balance between earning enough income for retirement and making capital last.
This balance might not seem realistic when government bond yields are so low, but AllianceBernstein portfolio manager John Taylor says investors also need to change their mindset about fixed income allocation.
The AB Dynamic Global Fixed Income Fund differs from the traditional approach to asset allocation because its portfolio managers no longer think of bonds as purely the "safe" part of a diversified portfolio.
In the accompanying article, Taylor explains there are better opportunities for income and stability for investors who are willing to be rewarded for taking on a little more risk in a risk-aware global, multi-sector, unconstrained and actively-managed bond strategy.
