PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Macquarie Group’s Delaware Investments launches the fixed income thought leadership web series, The Great Risk Rebalance, aimed at helping investors assess a changing fixed income investment landscape and identify ways to mitigate risks. The series includes white papers, portfolio manager interviews, insights, and videos.
The first topic in the series, “Facing down the debt supercycle,” highlights the reasons why the worldwide rapid assumption of debt by governments, businesses, and consumers has led to a supercycle that is historically different, largely due to globalization. Delaware Investments taps its fixed income team to help investors navigate this uncharted territory.
The second issue in the series focuses on bond market liquidity. Over the past several years, the U.S. bond market has seen a drop in trading liquidity as broker/dealers have meaningfully reduced their inventory of fixed income securities. A commentary paper, “Adapting to liquidity issues in the bond market,” offers an overview of liquidity and its effects. It also outlines best practices that professional investors can use to help manage even through illiquid periods.
“With The Great Risk Rebalance series, we are striving to reset the expectations of investors, and emphasize the importance of a risk-averse approach to seeking yield,” said Roger Early, head of fixed income investments. “There is a continued belief in paradigms that no longer exist in the current debt situation. Our goal is to debunk these existing myths and make investors aware of the challenges ahead in the fixed income market.”
Delaware Investments has been managing fixed income assets for individuals, institutional and intermediary clients since 1970, and has more than US$115 billion in fixed income assets under management.*
