Fixed income: Positive bias towards credit
We believe that we are at a shift in regime for fixed-income markets as central banks prepare the ground for potential rate cuts following the most aggressive tightening cycle since the 1970s.
Bonds for stability and diversification
The fixed income segment is a cornerstone of a well-balanced investment portfolio.
Bonds offer the potential for stable income, capital preservation, and diversification, making them an essential complement to equities. In today's intricate market environment, a trusted partner can help investors better understand the vast fixed income landscape and unlock the opportunities it presents.
The role of fixed income in your portfolio
Bonds represent money lent by investors to borrowers such as governments, corporations, or other entities. In exchange for lending capital, investors receive regular interest payments and the principal is repaid at maturity. This predictable income stream and potential for capital appreciation make fixed income invaluable in a diversified portfolio.
However, the bond market is not a monolith: it encompasses various sectors, geographies, and risk profiles, each with unique characteristics. From the relative stability of investment-grade corporate bonds to the higher yields of emerging market debt and the dual characteristics of convertible bonds, the fixed-income universe offers a vast array of opportunities for investors to explore.
