2025 Market View: Fixed income

  • Economic, political and geopolitical uncertainty can continue to drive volatility across fixed income markets. Skilled investors should have ample opportunity to generate active performance.
  • US interest rates are seen staying higher for longer under a Trump Administration. This may be problematic for assets classes such as Private Debt, where balance sheet leverage is the most elevated.
  • IG credit may deliver further outperformance against a backdrop of oversupply of government bonds. This is a factor also causing yield curves to steepen.
  • We see opportunities in Euro financials and also in more illiquid credit in special situations in European markets.
