Investors face significant uncertainty with dramatic shifts in US policy, ongoing geopolitical tensions and diverging economic fortunes globally - but there are opportunities for investors looking to make the most of fixed income markets.
We consider the potential impact of a dramatic shift in US policy on trade, immigration, tax and foreign affairs, which could weigh on a currently healthy economic environment. We also consider the current dynamics in fixed income markets, explaining how these could support an active approach; offer thoughts on how to participate in equity markets while looking to protect against potential for downside; and provide insights on the implications of net-zero targets in corporate bond portfolios in an environment where such targets are increasingly challenged. With liability-driven investment (LDI) strategies in mind we also deliver some insights on the gilt market.
