While equities tend to fluctuate more than bonds, they also offer more growth potential. An active, analytical approach to equity investing that hones in on specific opportunities in a broad range of markets can help investors capture potential growth while reducing the impact of short-term volatility.
Value in an era of volatility
A generally low-yield global environment has broken down some of the traditional relationships between bonds and other asset classes, and made it more challenging for investors to find and preserve value in bond markets.
Yet these markets are also growing deeper and more diverse as emerging economies rise and growing companies move to fund their ambitions.
To capture the true potential of bonds investors need to explore the full range of opportunities that are emerging, rebalancing as needed and remaining conscious of the risks.
