Strategic Income Quarterly Update – April 2023

In this month's Flash Fixed Income, we look at how bond markets are reacting to Donald Trump's victory in the US election. With Trump's stated policies widely regarded as being inflationary, we expect a bigger divergence in the path for interest rate cuts between the US and Europe that might favour higher quality European credit.

With Donald Trump’s solid victory helping the dust around the US election result settle faster than many might have expected, investors’ attention has promptly shifted to the potential economic and financial market implications of the new administration.

With elevated yields and inflation expected to come back to target, we think investors can target a level of real return that was extremely difficult to achieve in the previous cycle.

Watch our livestream where Andrew Jackson, Head Fixed Income and Eoin Walsh, Partner & Portfolio Manager TwentyFour Asset Management delve into the current bond market landscape.

In this Back to Basics webinar, George Curtis (Portfolio Management), from our Multi-Sector Bond team provided a comprehensive understanding of the key aspects of yield curves.

In this inaugural edition of Flash Fixed Income, we look at the highly unpredictable US presidential election and explain why a potential second Trump administration could limit the Federal Reserve’s ability to deliver more rate cuts.
