Unprecedented times call for (un)fixed income

This article was produced by Invesco as part of their valued industry partnership to Insurance Investor.

So what does an unfixed approach look like?   We’ve tackled the big topics facing fixed investors through a series of insights covering:

• Pandemic, war and fixed income: Global markets have suffered several body blows in recent years. Will bonds and cash play an important role in portfolios to help manage market volatility?
• Views on monetary policy: With rising inflation and increasing interest rates, monetary policy is likely to be top of the agenda for fixed income investors. What are the key challenges and opportunities?
• Untapped market opportunities: With some traditional investment solutions no longer providing the returns investors need, could looking further afield to less traditional parts of the market provide the answer?
• ESG and the Net Zero challenge: As the focus on Net Zero increases for many insurers, we explore how fixed income investors can tackle some of the greatest challenges of our age head on.
• Innovation in fixed income ETFs: While bond yields have been gradually rising and spreads widening, the gains haven’t been enough to offset inflation. By offering efficient exposure to exciting areas of the market, could ETFs be part of the solution?

Investment risks

The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

Debt instruments are exposed to credit risk which is the ability of the borrower to repay the interest and capital on the redemption date.
