Threadneedle Absolute Return Bond fund

Quentin Fitzsimmons, the AAA-rated co-manager of the Threadneedle Absolute Return Bond fund, explains how he uses a combination of short-dated bonds and derivatives to generate steady cash-plus returns in all market conditions.

Wealth managers Lee Robertson of Investment Quorum and Richard Whitehead of Dart Capital discuss the appeal for clients of having a predictable income stream.

Whitehead uses the fund predominantly as a replacement for long-only corporate bond funds, and is starting to use absolute return bond funds within all client portfolios.
