Capitalise on strong fundamentals in otherwise uncertain markets

Fixed Income can be a resilient asset class, especially during these times of high market volatility and uncertainty. Credit in particular offers an attractive entry point with very favourable fundamentals:

  • Credit spreads widened sharply over summer (the widest levels for more than a year) triggered by a spike in risk aversion, and are attractive in both absolute and relative terms 
  • Corporate fundamentals remain strong, with companies being cash rich and not particularly leveraged, with enhanced balanced sheets


With opportunities for yield and carry, credit can generate appealing risk-adjusted returns in the current environment.
