The duration deliberation

TwentyFour Asset Management's Chris Bowie discusses the underweight duration across all of our outcome driven strategies, how this phase is now coming to an end, and why we are beginning to increase our interest rate duration in all of our funds.  

 

Key takeaways: 

Duration strategy

  • For the last two and a half years, the strategy has been underweight in duration across all of our outcome driven (OD) strategies, due to changing inflation leading to global interest rate hikes

Shift in strategy

  • The steepening yield curve has promoted us to increase duration across all of our OD funds, including short-dated funds to take advantage of higher four and five-year yields

Future opportunities

  • The strategy remains cautious, but if spreads widen this year, it will provide a good entry point to add credit spread duration back into our portfolios
