There are indeed some signs that the economy is weakening, but we also see some positive signs pointing to a renewed recovery in the global economy. Both our macro and equity models continue to send out positive signals.

What has long been proven in equities is now also the case when it comes to convertible bonds: investing in sustainable companies is beneficial for performance in the long term owing to the increased focus on risk.

Fisch Asset Management, which specialises in convertible bond, corporate bond and absolute return solutions, is further aligning its management structure with its plans for growth. Meno Stroemer, who already heads the corporate bond team, has assumed additional responsibility for all of Portfolio Management with effect from 1 April 2019 and has also joined the Executive Committee. This appointment underscores the objective of Co-CEOs Philipp Good and Juerg Sturzenegger to strengthen the Executive Committee by bringing on board further experts.

Corporate bonds have enjoyed a good start to 2019. Following the substantial derating of the asset class last year, the market has rebounded as many had hoped. “Global credit markets gained crucial support from the US. The pause in interest rate hikes announced by the Fed steadied the market’s nerves. The combination of a shift away from tight US monetary policy and the persistent environment of low interest rates globally makes corporate bonds particularly attractive in the asset allocation matrix at the moment”, comments Oliver Reinhard, Senior Portfolio Manager at Fisch Asset Management in Zurich.
