Investors will remember 2022 as an annus horribilis in which the correlation benefits of an equity and bond portfolio fell apart. But one positive from that episode has been a more nuanced understanding among advisers of portfolio diversification, especially in a period of structurally higher inflation and interest rates. Here, we draw on findings from our fixed income research to understand what lessons advisers learned from 2022 and how their attitude towards fixed income is changing as a result.
We asked experts across three of our investment firms about the key themes that could be shaping the economy in the second half of 2025 and how they believe their asset classes may fare.
Absolute return bond strategies are designed to deliver a positive return in all environments.
