Fixed Income Strategic Forum 2023 - Higher rates, tighter credit, and less liquidity matter
Since Issue 02 in May, financial markets have continued to perform well, dismissing the likelihood of recession and seemingly embracing the soft-landing or even no-landing scenario. However, upon examination of the evidence in September for Issue 03, we are of the view that the question is not if a recession will occur but rather when it will occur and how hard it will be.
A retightening of policy mix: Impact on growth and inflation
Going into 2024, our analysis for Issue 03 of the Fixed Income Strategic Forum 2023 suggests the current policy mix of easier fiscal policy and tighter monetary policy may revert to an overall tighter stance, mainly due to a gradual diminishing of the fiscal policy impulse while the monetary policy stance remains tight. In this insight, we delve deeper into these current macroeconomic trends and, more importantly, how their projected trajectories will affect the growth and inflation outlook into 2024.

Integrating public and private credit to build better portfolios
Views on portfolio construction are evolving as yields move into a rising rate environment. By expanding the investable universe and understanding what drives asset classes, investors can gain greater confidence that risk is distributed across their investment portfolios.
Navigating to Net Zero
In December 2020, Macquarie Asset Management (MAM) announced a commitment to manage its portfolio in line with global net zero emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement goal.
Pathways – Real Assets Outlook 2023
Inflation is likely to fall over the next 12 months as supply chains normalise, commodity markets realign, and aggregate demand softens. But, in our view, inflation is unlikely to fall back to central bank targets quickly.
Finding value in dislocated real estate markets
2022 was characterised as a year of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty spurred by geopolitics, rising interest rates, and growing inflation. These factors, combined with the rising cost of capital, have driven dislocation and mispricing in the global real estate market.
The Case for Infrastructure
Infrastructure has been growing in popularity in recent years, with unlisted infrastructure funds raising a record $US125 billion of capital in 2021. The increasing appetite from institutional investors could be explained by its impressive risk-adjusted return delivery as well as its attractive characteristics.
