Credit & Alternatives
Pension funds are struggling to find secure and diversified sources of income. In its quantitative easing programmes, the ECB is hoovering up the kind of debt that pension funds and insurers wish to hold for regulatory purposes. Demand outweighs supply in obvious markets such as investment grade and infrastructure loans. Further quantitative easing expected from the ECB means there is little value in local sovereigns going forward.
To avoid this predicament, investors can do one or a combination of the following:
- Search further into the world of alternative forms of credit such as loans or leasing for illiquidity premia.
- Prepare for tougher times ahead by employing strategies that exploit volatility and credit arbitrage, shorting or insurancelinked securities, which do not depend on bull markets to earn income.
- Rely on manager skill to find the best opportunities in difficult markets.
