Event replay highlights
Global Macro Outlook
Presenter: Polina Kurdyavko, Head of BlueBay Emerging Markets
The macro backdrop continues to look uncertain, and we are repeating the word ‘unprecedented’ frequently. Yet, in reality we have had a number of unprecedented events over the last 20-30 years. However, today we have a person, not an event, and that is what is causing an unusual situation. Yet, when investing, the impact and the approach is similar. Fundamentals are always a starting point, and in fixed income, we focus on asymmetry in terms of risk-reward and probabilities. We believe that FI should perform quite well in the current environment.
Focus on Geopolitics, with reference to our flagship strategies
Presenters: Tim Ash, Senior EM Sovereign Strategist and Polina Kurdyavko, Head of BlueBay Emerging Markets
Despite geopolitical uncertainty, our outlook on emerging markets debt (EMD) remains positive. Strong fundamentals may anchor credit spreads, while fading US exceptionalism could boost local currency flows. We consider this and look at the BlueBay Emerging Market Unconstrained Bond Fund.
Opportunities in Global Investment Grade
Presenter: Marc Stacey, BlueBay Senior Portfolio Manager, Investment Grade
Tariffs are causing uncertainty and falling confidence in the US, with the US exceptionalism theme starting to fade. However, we don’t see a US recession on the horizon, fundamentals remain resilient and yields at multi-year highs from investment grade issuers are still attracting flows. We look at the BlueBay Global IG Corporate Bond Fund & the BlueBay Financial Capital Bond Fund.
Focus on ABS and Securitized Credit
Presenters: Tom Mowl, BlueBay Senior Portfolio Manager & Lucy Best, BlueBay Institutional Portfolio Manager
Securitized credit has once again demonstrated its resilience amidst the backdrop of broad macro volatility; in particular, our active strategies that invest across this market have navigated this period of weakness and continue to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns. We look at the BlueBay IG Asset Backed Credit Fund, & the BlueBay Short Duration High Grade Securitized Credit strategy.
Opportunities within Multi-Asset Credit
Presenter: Raphael Robelin, BlueBay Head of Multi-Asset Credit, Credit Strategy & Asset Allocation
Multi-asset credit (MAC) investing offers an innate flexibility to react to a changing world. Investors need to consider the opportunity set across credit markets in an uncertain world, the end of US exceptionalism, and the best ways to hedge a credit portfolio in today’s market. We look at the BlueBay Total Return Credit Fund.
