Building More Resilient Fixed Income Portfolios
Attractive yields on fixed income have positively influenced long-term capital market assumptions (CMAs), or forward-looking return expectations, for the public fixed income markets. Fixed income may now offer investors the prospect for more simplified and resilient portfolio construction by taking advantage of the opportunity that exists across credit sectors and short-duration bonds.
Modernizing Equity Allocation
Lord Abbett’s approach to growth investing combines both price and operating momentum, a strategy that may be a compelling diversifier to other equity allocations including value, growth and growth at a reasonable price. Investors should consider this investment approach when evaluating their overall public equity allocation.
Opportunities in Credit
Fixed-income credit sectors provide an opportunity for enhanced income and lower rate risk. Higher yields and an active, experienced approach to credit management provide an opportunity for institutional investors to add allocations to return-seeking fixed income (e.g. high yield, bank loans, etc.) that will contribute meaningful return at a lower level of risk to equities.
