Partner and Portfolio Manager Chris Bowie & Portfolio Manager Johnathan Owen hosted a Spotlight on ESG: A Changing Climate in Fixed Income webinar, which explored how the ESG landscape has changed within fixed income.

Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (‘RMBS’) are by far the largest, and most liquid component of the European ABS market, and a key tool for banks and other lenders to finance the loans they make to homeowners in the real economy.

Partner and Portfolio Manager, Aza Teeuwen, discusses the impact of Q1 events on the European ABS market and how he expects the markets to respond moving forward.

Following a busy quarter in bond markets, Portfolio Manager Charlene Malik reflects on macro events and discusses how our Multi-Sector Bond team have responded.

Partner and Portfolio Manager Chris Bowie discusses recent Q1 events and gives an outlook for Investment Grade for the next quarter.

Given the recent headlines surrounding Credit Suisse and the decision from FINMA, the Swiss regulator, to write down CHF16 billion of Credit Suisse’s Additional Tier 1 debt to zero, we hosted a webinar looking at the possible wider implications of this write-down and what it could means for fixed income investors. 

Amidst uncertain economic conditions during a late-cycle environment, we still believe that short-dated, high quality, investment grade bonds with low duration and high break-even yields can play a crucial role in portfolios and are well positioned to weather bouts of volatility that we may see this year.

European ABS proved to be a valuable allocation for fixed income investors last year and we think the asset class looks to be even stronger in 2023, with rates and spreads combining to create an attractive income landscape. 

With inflation and rate hikes dominating markets in 2022, European ABS proved to be a valuable allocation for fixed income investors wishing to avoid unwanted yield curve related volatility.

TwentyFour Portfolio Manager, George Curtis, provides an update on the Multi-Sector teams current investment themes and macro outlook before looking at the performance and portfolio positioning of the Vontobel Fund – TwentyFour Strategic Income Fund.

As we enter 2023, we think there is good reason for fixed income investors to be positive. This is especially true in investment grade where issuers are typically higher quality, less leveraged and generally have a lower cost of funding than HY issuers.

TwentyFour AM portfolio manager Jack Daley discusses Q4 performance for Investment Grade markets and provides his outlook for 2023.
