In this episode Vivek Prabhu, Perpetual’s head of credit and fixed income, explains how he navigates credit markets as geopolitical shocks jolt rates, growth expectations and liquidity.

Prabhu says markets signalled “binary outcomes” ahead of the Middle East conflict and explains why he positioned defensively, then rotated quickly into repriced risk as volatility spiked after the US invasion of Iran. 

He outlines tactical moves — extending maturity, trimming senior bonds, adding hybrids, and actively trading duration — before taking profits as spreads and equities rebounded. 

As Prabhu puts it: “if you didn’t act quickly, you missed the opportunity.”

Listen now for practical portfolio moves in volatile credit markets.
