Fixed income’s role in portfolio might change Challenges and potential solutions

Challenges Potential solutions

• Low level of Yield

• Risk of rising core interest rates

• Generate adequate income

• Increased market volatility

• No longer diversifier for risky assets

• Increase opportunity set

• Preference for low duration assets

• Distinct risk and illiquidity premium

• Flexible fixed income solutions

• Risk managed absolute return

Idea 1: High Yield and Emerging Markets Debt Higher yields or lower duration

High Yield

• Benefits from a stronger growth environment

• Correlated with equities, lower duration

• Benefits from US tax plan and commodity prices

Emerging Markets bonds

• Benefits in a continuation of the search for yield

• More sensitive to US interest rates

• Frontier markets offer exposure to growth
