An excerpt from this podcast with Oliver Ge, an assistant portfolio manager with Pendal’s Income and Fixed Interest team

“The problems with First Republic and SVB are not unique,” says Oliver.

“There are potentially cracks opening up in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 13th largest banks.”

If further failures occur, investors may be over-confident that the Federal Reserve wil continue to launch rescue missions, says Oliver.

The relatively mild market response could suggest “a disconnect between what investors are pricing in and what’s actually happening”, he says.

In this podcast, Oliver explains what that could mean for investors – and why he believes cash and government bonds are an important consideration for portfolios right now.
