Harry Richards, fund manager of the Jupiter Corporate Bond Fund discusses money market funds and negative interest rates, including: * The impact of negative interest rates... does it work? * Dynamics in the inflation market being 'overcooked' * The end of free banking? * The subject that central bankers DON'T want to talk about

Talib Sheikh and Mark Richards preview 2021, as a new era begins that still has echoes of the old. As we reach the limits of what central banks can do to foster growth, the baton passes to governments.

UK equity investors may still face challenges, but the outlook is potentially rather rosier than some of the headlines suggest.

In the 1990s, the role of independent central banks was to act as global policemen stamping down on inflation whenever it flared up. But following the Great Financial Crisis the referees became players while in 2021 the boundary between independent central banks and their governments will look increasingly blurred. What sort of a world are bondholders likely to face, ask Ariel Bezalel and Harry Richards.

Sustainable investing, previously a minority interest, is now rapidly becoming mainstream. Abbie Llewellyn-Waters, fund manager, global sustainable equities at Jupiter, explains how investors can navigate the new landscape.
