The indiscriminate grind down in asset prices this year has left both bonds and equities in bear market territory.

In this webinar, two of Ruffer's flagship fund managers Jos North and Jasmine Yeo join Rory McIvor to describe the nature of the bear market we face and introduce the thinking behind Ruffer’s fears of a liquidation event in markets. They reflect on the investment strategies that have prevailed in previous bear markets and what might work to tame the bear this time around.
