Short-Duration Bonds Regain Popularity, Pictet AM Says
Pictet AM表示，短期债券重新受欢迎
Whether inflation will be temporary or become entrenched is "far from clear," and one area of fixed income where investors can potentially find refuge from inflation is short-duration bonds,Raymond Sagayam, chief investment officer for fixed income at Pictet Asset Management, says. "It's an asset class that has been largely overlooked for the past five or six years as most investors have been attracted to riskier assets and higher-yielding debt," he says. "Now, it looks attractive once more." U.S., eurozone and U.K. sovereign bonds, as well as emerging-market credit, have lost money over the past 12 months, with return eaten up by rising yields, Sagayam says.
百达资产管理固定收益首席投资官雷蒙德·萨加亚姆表示，通货膨胀是暂时性的还是根深蒂固的 “还远未明确”，而投资者有可能避开通货膨胀的固定收益领域之一是短期债券。他说：“在过去的五六年中，这是一个基本上被忽视的资产类别，因为大多数投资者被风险较高的资产和更高收益的债务所吸引。”“现在，它看起来又有吸引力了。”萨加亚姆说，在过去的12个月中，美国、欧元区和英国的主权债券以及新兴市场信贷出现了亏损，收益率的上升吞噬了回报。
