What's A Fixed-Income Investor To Do In This Low Interest Rate World? |
Business Insider - Feb. 17, 2011 - by Cullen Roche
In a low yield world with fewer and fewer bargains, conservative investors are finding themselves in a bind. Treasuries appear increasingly risky given the rising inflation risks. High yield is no longer the bargain it was in recent years. Municipal bonds are in the midst of a potential crisis. So what’s a conservative income investor to do? Credit Suisse recommends that low risk tolerance investors stay in short duration investment grade corporates while those with a higher tolerance move out into the high yield market:
“In our general strategy we continue to overweight higher yielding bonds that should benefit from an ongoing economic recovery, improving funding conditions and retreating default rates. For investors with low risk tolerance we primarily recommend investment-grade corporate bonds. For investors with higher risk tolerance, we recommend selectively adding exposure to high yield, bank subordinated, corporate hybrids and lower rated emerging market bonds.”
