Corporate bonds to return 5%, investor says |
MarketWatch - Jan. 29, 2010
Investment-grade corporate bonds will return up to 5% in 2010, while high-yield bonds will return up to 11%, adding to big gains made in 2009, according to Smith Breeden Associates. Besides improving credit fundamentals for companies – having less leverage and more free cash flow — access to financing will mean fewer defaults, said senior portfolio manager Jonathan Duensing in a note released Thursday.
“While we do not expect a repeat of the ‘historic’ outperformance experienced in 2009, we expect the corporate credit markets to perform well in 2010,” Duensing said.
Also providing support, near-zero percent short-term savings rates have motivated investors and lenders to “move out the curve” in search of incremental yield and returns, he said.
Total returns for investment-grade debt should be 3% to 5%, he said. Speculative-grade debt will provide a total return of 7% to 11%.
He said the best opportunities will be in money center banks, insurers that have moved beyond recent investment portfolio underperformance, and stable, cash generative, non-cyclical sectors such as communications and utilities. — Deborah Levine
