PT Asset Management CEO Sean Dranfield joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of the Performance Trust Total Return Bond ETF. Dranfield shared insights into the unique strategies his firm employs in bond management, particularly through their proprietary methodology known as Shape Management. This approach aims to rectify common shortcomings found in traditional bond metrics, which can often lead investors astray. Dranfield pointed out that interest rates are notoriously unpredictable, and conventional metrics like yield and duration frequently fall short in providing accurate guidance. By leveraging Shape Management, PT Asset Management strives to establish a more dependable total return profile, even in the face of fluctuating interest rates. During the conversation, Dranfield also highlighted the stark differences between the U.S. and European bond markets. He noted that European markets lack structured credit, an area where U.S. investors typically find resilience against rate sensitivity. This distinction makes the newly launched ETF particularly relevant for European investors, as it offers a pathway to achieve smoother returns. “Bonds are mathematical instruments,” Dranfield stated, emphasizing that understanding their structure enables more accurate predictions of future bond prices. The partnership for the ETF in London represents an exciting opportunity to enhance investment strategies for European clients. #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #PTAssetManagement #BondETF #TotalReturn #ShapeManagement #InvestmentStrategies #BondMarket #InterestRates #USInvesting #StructuredCredit #EuropeanInvestors #FinanceInterview #investing #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
