Episode 105
Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description
US High Yield continues to perform well this quarter- but geopolitical volatility demands strategic positioning.
In this edition of #TheWeeklyFix, Charlie Whinery, Portfolio Manager on RBC BlueBay’s US Fixed Income Team, breaks down Q3's strong performance and how his team is navigating current market dynamics.
- US HY delivered solid 2.4% returns in Q3 with robust $140B issuance, low leverage levels, and healthy interest coverage ratios well above historical norms.
- Geopolitical risks create uncertainty - Trump's tariff threats on Chinese goods sparked volatility, making front-end positioning a potential strategic advantage.
