in better income – encapsulates how investors should look to look beyond income payouts and consider investments that offer growth potential in up markets and stability in down markets, to build a resilient portfolio that delivers stable returns over time.
Asian bonds may offer investors a balanced mix of stability and growth – with attractive yields and steady income from high quality bonds. Furthermore, the diverse and growing economies in Asia contribute to a robust bond market with market depth and liquidity.
Investors may capitalize on a wide range of opportunities from Asian local currency bonds to achieve a generally higher yield compared to portfolios investing only in developed market bonds. This is especially opportune in the current market environment which may continue the USD weakening trend.
