It is no secret that the past 12 months have been extremely challenging for fixed income investors. High inflation and central bank rate hikes weighed on markets in 2022. More recently volatility has re-emerged, prompted by instability in the banking sector in the first quarter of 2023.
For investors wondering how to navigate fixed income markets from here, there are reasons to be positive. The silver lining of the weak bond returns in 2022 is much higher yields – and by extension, the scope for higher income - than we have seen in many years. This offers fresh opportunities across broad credit markets and could set the stage for positive returns going forward.
