Why high yield bonds are an evergreen asset

On the third anniversary of the GF High Yield Bond Fund, manager Donald Phillips explains why high yield bonds should be viewed as an evergreen asset that can offer income generation across different market conditions.

BlackRock Commentary: What lies beyond the restart?

BlackRock’s senior executives and portfolio managers gathered virtually at BlackRock's midyear outlook forum at a critical juncture in markets – with a pro-risk consensus over the tactical horizon. Beyond the near-term restart, they expressed a wide range of views on topics including growth and inflation, and identified a few key long-term investment themes including the climate transition, China and policy.

Notes from the Trading Desk - Franklin Templeton

Given the presence of some temporary factors driving inflation data, the markets are telling us investors are happy to run with the Federal Reserve's narrative that inflationary pressures are transitory. We see this view reflected across asset classes.

BlackRock Commentary: ECB - Keeping up the pace

BlackRock expect the ECB to maintain its current pace of asset purchases even as the economic restart gains traction. They wouldn’t view a decision to slow purchases as a hawkish policy signal, as the ECB is focused on keeping financing conditions easy. This, and a Federal Reserve that BlackRock see keeping policy easy, provides a positive backdrop for risk assets including European equities.

Notes from the Trading Desk - Franklin Templeton

Improving macro data and continuously dovish central banks have kept equity markets well supported. Given the push and pull, the market continues to react to specific headlines and announcements, rather than the reopening trade as a general theme.

A green economy. How can you be part of it?

BlackRock Commentary: Policy revolution’s long reach

The powerful policy revolution implies a lower future path of interest rates than markets are pricing in, even amid rising inflation over the medium term, as captured in BlackRock's new nominal investment theme. Lower rates – even compared to their previous expectations – lift expected returns across asset classes over the strategic horizon and reinforcing BlackRock's preference for equities over bonds.

BlackRock Commentary: Gauging geopolitical risks

Market attention to geopolitical risks has fallen to four-year lows. BlackRock believe this is justified, as investors appear more focused on the economic restart and inflation outlook and less concerned about geopolitics since the change in U.S. administration. Yet it’s worth watching specific risks as flareups can catch investors off guard when attention is low.
