Why higher rates are good for the world (and which stocks can do well)

In episode 23 of Stocks Neat, Co-Portfolio Manager Gareth Brown and CIO Steve Johnson sit down to discuss the opportunities available for investors in the current interest rate environment, following our CIO Letter, "Reasons to welcome the death of TINA”.

With rising yields has come weakness in equity markets as investors take advantage of risk-free returns. So does the death of TINA mean disaster for equity markets? You might certainly think so. For Steve and the Forager team, however, we feel far more comfortable with TINA in the ground.

Listen to the full episode to find out why.
