Local Fixed Income Outlook and Q&A Session

Local Fixed Income Outlook by Ritchie Teo, CFA:
- Introduction [0:00]
- Inflation has been decelerating locally and in the US [02:10]

- Local growth remained strong and minimal cut being priced locally [05:34]

- Can you apply the peso cost averaging strategy in buying bond funds? [23:49]
- With US Fed recent intention to hike rates now, how will the Philippines be affected by this? [26:17]

- Is it better to get fixed income assets for the short term or long term right now? [31:19]
