Fixed Income Investment Outlook 4Q 2024

However, some caution may be warranted on duration, as markets may be overly optimistic about the initial pace of reductions. Meanwhile still sturdy, if softening, economic conditions along with strong investor demand have contributed to narrow corporate credit spreads, reinforcing the value of a quality emphasis and drawing on yield and price opportunities wherever they emerge.

Asset Allocation Committee Outlook 4Q 2024
“We do think the Fed will get the first 100 basis points done quickly, but we see the central bank aiming for a return to a neutral rate, rather than an accommodative one—and in a soft-landing environment that would justify a rate cut pause around mid-year 2025, in our view.”

Relative Value & Tactical Asset Allocation Q4 2024
We are anticipating a stable macro environment in the near future, with some uncertainties stemming from U.S. elections and monetary policy.
