JPMorgan makes bullish call in fixed income space, suggests it's a once in a generation opportunity
JPMorgan Asset Management is bullish on high-quality fixed income, which portfolio manager Priya Misra describes as a once in a generation opportunity. Misra suggests investors can take credit risk in the highest quality companies to achieve yields of 6.5%, with some high-quality fixed income offering between 6% and 7%. The firm expects US high-grade credit to rally as supply decreases and believes these assets may outperform Treasuries. This position comes as the bank notes that current yields already incorporate better-than-expected economic growth.
