In this episode, I have a conversation with Mike Gitlin, chair of the Fixed Income Management Committee at the Capital Group, about increasing debt levels and rising rates, and the corresponding investment risks and opportunities.

When investing in bonds and interest rate-sensitive securities, it is important to note that as interest rates rise, prices will fall.  High-yield bonds have greater credit risk than higher quality bonds.
