Short Duration Income
Unlock opportunities to enhance yield, while focusing on capital preservation
Short duration fixed income is an attractive proposition for investors as it offers higher income potential and the ability to lock-in higher yields if cash rates fall, as well as the opportunity for capital appreciation through moderate use of duration. Given its short-duration nature, the asset class also exhibits lower volatility and lower interest rate sensitivity than traditional fixed income.
As global central banks are either continuing their cutting cycle or have lowered interest rates considerably over the past year, maintaining a strong overall yield over cash is essential. Short duration fixed income is the perfect fit for investors seeking effective income and better returns in the current economic climate.
