Counterparty Radar: Western AM, Legg Mason lead way as US funds regain interest in inflation swaps

Planning-for-inflation

Franklin Templeton subsidiaries Legg Mason and Western Asset Management built a combined $4.1 billion position in inflation swaps in the fourth of quarter of 2021, a total more than 10 times higher compared to what they were holding in their books in Q3.
