After an unprecedented 8.5-year period of near-zero interest rates, it looks like the Bank of England (BoE) is finally preparing to raise its base rate from the current level of 0.25%.

In this webinar, Christoph V. Schon, Axioma's Executive Director of Applied Research, explored a number of historical scenarios of previous BoE rate hikes and analyzed the potential impact on a multi-asset class model portfolio.
