2022 has been one of the worst years on record for corporate bonds – even worse than in 2008 – but as we approach a new year, is this a case of buying into an asset class at its weakest point?
Join Grace Le to hear her reasons for believing that attractive valuations and resilient fundamentals for corporate bonds mean an active approach to fixed income is more than ever important.

Risks specific to the Artemis Corporate Bond Fund
- Market volatility risk: The value of a fund and any income from it can fall or rise because of movements in stockmarkets, currencies and interest rates, each of which can move irrationally and be affected unpredictably by diverse factors, including political and economic events.
- Currency risk: The fund’s assets may be priced in currencies other than the fund base currency. Changes in currency exchange rates can therefore affect the fund’s value.
- Emerging markets risk: Compared to more established economies, investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater volatility due to differences in generally accepted accounting principles, less governed standards or from economic or political instability. Under certain market conditions assets may be difficult to sell.
- Derivatives risk: The fund may invest in derivatives with the aim of profiting from falling (‘shorting’) as well as rising prices. Should the asset’s value vary in an unexpected way, the fund value will reduce.
- Credit risk: Investments in bonds are affected by interest rates, inflation and credit ratings. It is possible that bond issuers will not pay interest or return the capital. All of these events can reduce the value of bonds held by the fund.
- Bond liquidity risk: The fund holds bonds which could prove difficult to sell. As a result, the fund may have to lower the selling price, sell other investments or forego more appealing investment opportunities.
