How can you achieve your clients’ goals?

Investing in active fixed income

We believe the new economic era is here to stay. For investors willing to embrace the change, a number of fixed income solutions can help position portfolios for long-term success.

Solution 1: Flexibility

  • Allocating between treasuries and credit could provide attractive total returns 
  • A flexible approach can help investors balance potential credit opportunities with downside protection from treasuries and cash 
  • Maintaining an investment grade average rating can help provide competitive yields with lower default risk

Solution 2: Stability

  • Shifting from cash to bonds could lock in attractive yield potential 
  • Even if spreads do not tighten further, credit can potentially provide attractive returns 
  • Investment grade credit can offer a reliable stream of interest payments, adding stability to investors’ portfolios

Solution 3: Diversification

  • A diversified bond allocation can once again be a portfolio stabiliser
  • Embracing a global approach can offer enhanced risk/return potential
  • Impact bonds may offer both returns and diversification
