In an increasingly divided world, many of us are looking for safe ground. Government bonds used to mean safety, delivering rock-solid if slightly underwhelming returns. This has changed, so investors are now looking for income elsewhere, which requires them to unfix their thinking and get away from the boundaries of traditional approaches.
Bonds, one of the most diverse asset classes there is, remain as attractive as ever for investors willing to take an active look.
While the search for income can entail risks, there are many attractive areas of the market. We can help you discover the right segments for you.
“Currently, 30% of all bond yields are now negative, but one way to unfix your thinking is to realize that with 70% of bonds offering positive returns, the cup is in fact over two-thirds full and many of these bonds can deliver an attractive income.”
