Markets have been wrong-footed at every turn this year, and there is little indication that the outlook is becoming clearer. In the bond market, tensions between inflation, erratic central bank behaviour and a rapidly shifting environment for risk are playing out simultaneously.

The value of active minds: independent thinking
A key feature of Jupiter’s investment approach is that we eschew the adoption of a house view, instead preferring to allow our specialist fund managers to formulate their own opinions on their asset class. As a result, it should be noted that any views expressed – including on matters relating to environmental, social and governance considerations – are those of the author(s), and may differ from views held by other Jupiter investment professionals.
