Schooled to show his mettle in the bond trade

Article Abstract:

Assessing corporate bonds can be regarded as a hybrid discipline, according to James Gledhill, who manages the M&G Corporate Bond Fund. He believes that wide-ranging experience is useful, as bond markets are affected by external factors. He emphasizes that he focuses on investing in companies which are stable in their yield position and not vulnerable to deterioration. This means concentrating on the lower end of the investment-grade bonds.
