Survey: European Investors Flock to Fixed-Income |
ai CIO - June 27, 2011 - Research by Invesco shows institutional investors have upped their fixed-income exposure to their highest level in five years while fleeing equities.
New research by Invesco has shown that European pension funds and other institutional investors have increased their fixed-income allocation to the highest level in five years, with corporate bonds being the main focus of investors' growing interest in the asset class at the expense of government debt.
At the same time, Invesco's survey -- which collected responses nearly 150 European pension funds and insurance companies with more than €1.2 trillion (US$1.7 trillion) in combined assets under management -- showed that institutional investors reduced their allocation to equities. "Overall, the 2011 survey results give a mixed picture of investor confidence," said Invesco managing director and head of institutional business Germany, Michael Gartmann.
Invesco's 11th European Institutional Asset Management Survey (EIAMS) revealed that allocations to fixed-income rose to 58% in 2010, up from 51% the previous year and the highest level since 2006. Equities fell back to 27% of assets in 2010 from 29% in 2009. However, they are still above its level of 25% in 2008 during the financial crisis. Fixed income continues gaining more ground," Gartmann added. "Last year's freefall in equities appears to have been halted with just a small decline, and the sharp reduction in cash suggests investors have spotted more attractive opportunities."
