Recent market volatility has reinforced the value of alpha over beta. While markets rebounded from recent lows, risks persist – from uncertain trade policy to concerns about debt sustainability. But fixed income remains resilient. We are finding opportunities in local currency EM debt, US high yield, and European investment grade credit.

Discover the key insights from our Q2 Fixed Income webinar, where our experts explored the latest market shifts and strategic positioning opportunities in a rapidly evolving environment.

While tariffs have done meaningful damage to the economic outlook and raised volatility in rates markets, the softening of the US stance has restored confidence in credit returns for 2025.

The US dollar’s reign is faltering, and we believe a prolonged dollar bear market is underway – a scenario that has historically been a tailwind for emerging market economic growth and asset valuations. However, not all emerging equity markets respond equally to the dollar’s decline.

The question for investors now is how much of the macro risk remains, and how well that risk is being reflected in asset valuations.

TwentyFour Asset Management’s Eoin Walsh breaks down a turbulent first quarter for investors, driven by newly imposed Trump tariffs and shifting economic forecasts.

TwentyFour Asset Management’s Chris Bowie reflects on a politically eventful first quarter, its impact on European and US markets and what it could mean for investors going forward.

We remain cautiously optimistic about Fixed Income returns. Tail risks are elevated, which dampens our confidence in “risk on” markets. But alpha opportunities still await risk-aware, active investors. Those who try to predict the next major macro shift may find themselves echoing Luke Skywalker’s words, “your overconfidence is your weakness.”

The incoming German government’s removal of the country’s infamous “debt brake” is a serious pivot for the typically fiscally conservative country, and one that we think highlights the value on offer in European assets.
