T. Rowe Price's Page: High/sticky inflation calls for 'aggressive defense'
Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe

Sebastien Page, head of global multi-asset/chief investment officer at T. Rowe Price, says that while inflation has peaked, it will remain sticky as it returns to more normal levels. The strategic, long-term takeaway is to remain invested, but Page says that the tactical moves investors should be making now involve playing "aggressive defense," underweighting stocks relative to bonds, underweighting Treasury bonds and overweighting cash and bank loans now. Internationally, he favors emerging markets and is light on Europe. Also on the show, Tom Lydon, vice chairman at VettaFi, looks at a new fund from VanEck focused on collateralized loan obligations as a means of diversifying bond portfolios, and Charlie Bobrinskoy, vice chairman at Ariel Investments talks value investing in the Market Call.
