The return of equity income
Monday May 13, 2024
Monday May 13, 2024
Post-Global Financial Crisis, income investing in equities found itself in the wilderness. The only way to outperform between 2010 and 2020 was to be at the growth-end of the spectrum. But that all changed abruptly in 2022 with spiralling inflation and rising interest rates. In this episode, Stuart Rhodes, Global Dividend Fund Manager, and Alex Araujo, Global Listed Infrastructure Fund Manager, consider the ramifications having snapped out of that anomalous decade, opportunities across sectors and geographies, and why now.
Speakers:
Stuart Rhodes, Global Dividend Fund Manager.
Alex Araujo, Global Listed Infrastructure Fund Manager.

The long-term megatrend of European private asset-backed finance
Monday Mar 25, 2024
Monday Mar 25, 2024
While Europe’s private asset-backed finance markets have been growing in importance for a number of years, it's only in recent years where we've seen the regulatory pressures that banks are facing come to the fore, fuelling a strong desire to shrink balance sheets and increase capital.
This has created a wealth of opportunities, with a significant number of transactions coming to market almost every week. Listen to this episode of The Investment Podcast to find out more about why we think the Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) market is poised for significant growth over the coming years – and what’s driving a steady stream of core loan portfolio sales in various jurisdictions.
Speakers:
James King, Head of Structured Credit.
Jo Tomkins, Investment Specialist – Structured Credit.
Host:
Romil Patel, Global Managing Editor.
Credit risk: Investments may be exposed to the possibility that a debtor will not meet their repayment obligations.
Liquidity risk (closed-ended): Investments may be illiquid, as a result it may be difficult to realise, sell or dispose of an investment at an attractive price or at the appropriate time or in response to changing market conditions.
Concentration risk: Due to their limited number, investments may be affected adversely by the unfavourable performance of a single issuer.
Derivative risk: The use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes may expose investments to a higher degree of risk and may cause larger than average price fluctuations.
Currency risk: Investments may be exposed to currency rate movements.
Equity risk: As equity is subordinate to all other claims into an underlying investment, investments may be exposed to the possibility of a low or zero recovery.
Prepayment risk: Loans may be prepaid by issuers at short notice, as a result it may be difficult to locate and reinvest capital at an attractive price or at all, which may adversely affect investments.

A brief history of real estate – and what’s back in fashion
Friday Jan 12, 2024
Friday Jan 12, 2024
History offers useful lessons, as a plethora of adages often remind us. In the first episode of 2024, Jose Pellicer Global Head of Investment Strategy and Richard Gwilliam, Head of Research at M&G Real Estate, kick off the new year with a brief look at real estate throughout recent history – from a world of high inflation and interest rates in the 1980s to rock bottom interest rates Post-GFC – and what differentiates the 2020s from previous decades. With that said, the current environment necessitates investment skills of old and a real understanding of property fundamentals is set for a fashionable comeback, they predict.

Dissecting the gilt crisis fallout
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Just over a year has passed since the gilt market turmoil of September 2022, sparked by the UK government’s so-called ‘mini-budget’. The fallout from the crisis, as the pound fell and gilt yields spiked, prompted an emergency intervention by the Bank of England to restore orderly market conditions against a global backdrop of high inflation and rising interest rates. A significant change in asset class demand dynamics ensued as pension funds sought to meet collateral calls for their LDI mandates.
Since then, yields on longer-dated bonds have risen significantly despite short rate pricing expectations coming down, while concerns over the volume of government bond supply have begun to permeate financial markets. Miles Tym, Fund Manager – Public Fixed Income at M&G Investments, discusses how the fixed income landscape has shifted in the last 18 months and whether the factors that contributed to the crisis are still in place.

The state of play in European private credit
Monday Sep 25, 2023
Monday Sep 25, 2023
Risk assets have repriced over the past year due to financial-market volatility and higher-than-usual levels of uncertainty surrounding issues such as terminal rates, inflation, geopolitics and economic growth. Consequently, we believe private credit currently offers unusually high potential returns while retaining its traditional defensive characteristics of low duration and security.
However, selecting a manager who has experienced periods of higher default rates, who implements conservative underwriting standards, and who can perform rigorous credit analysis is key, in our view. #MandGInsti
