Fixed income strategies for low and rising rates
- Despite concern about rising rates, the more serious issue for
institutional investors is historically low yields and the outlook
for below-average fixed income returns in the future. - The eight-year bull market and benign credit environment
have largely masked the risks of increasing equity exposure or
relying on a broad U.S. bond market benchmark to meet
expected rates of return. - Diversifying fixed income portfolios with “plus” sectors, such
as emerging market debt and floating rate loans, and private
strategies — middle market senior loans and mezzanine debt
— can be a partial solution to low yields and rising rates.5
