It is ‘more of the same’ for European high-yield bonds
Building on a solid performance in 2023, European high-yield bonds stand to do well in 2024 given favourable macroeconomic and technical factors such as falling market interest rates and an excess of investor demand amid relatively limited supply, argues Olivier Monnoyeur, Global Head of High Yield, on this Talking Heads podcast.For more insights, visit Viewpoint: https://viewpoint.bnpparibas-am.com/Download the Viewpoint app: https://onelink.to/tpxq34 Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bnpp.lk/amPlease note that podcasts from BNP Paribas Asset Management may contain technical language.

Finding the best ideas in fixed income
The last three years have seen considerable market volatility caused by factors including the Covid pandemic, government subsidies, supply chain pressures, and runaway inflation. After all this, fixed income investors might be forgiven for feeling particularly challenged about how to square the latest trends and translate them into asset allocation. Listen to this Talking Heads podcast about absolute return fixed income investing with Portfolio Manager Abhijit Korde and Daniel Morris, Chief Market Strategist. Abhijit discusses three scenarios for the US economy – a Goldilocks-like soft landing benefiting riskier investments such as corporate bonds; stickier-than expected inflation resulting in a rangebound selloff in risky assets; and a (low probability) recession favouring interest rate assets.For more insights, visit Viewpoint: https://viewpoint.bnpparibas-am.com/Download the Viewpoint app: https://onelink.to/tpxq34Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bnpp.lk/amPlease note that podcasts from BNP Paribas Asset Management may contain technical language.

There is more to come from Investment-Grade credit
There is value left in eurozone investment-grade corporate bonds even after a solid 2023. Scope for looser monetary policy from the European Central Bank will likely be one of the key drivers, potentially paving the way to returns of 6-6.5% in 2024, argues Victoria Whitehead, Head of Investment-Grade Credit, on this Talking Heads podcast with Daniel Morris, Chief Market Strategist.Continued inflows reflecting a search for yield among investors aligned with the prospect of companies issuing fewer bonds due to fewer merger and acquisition deals bode well for the segment in 2024.For more insights, visit Viewpoint: https://viewpoint.bnpparibas-am.com/Download the Viewpoint app: https://onelink.to/tpxq34Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bnpp.lk/amHosted by Ausha.
