Roads to income
Income opportunities are becoming more differentiated as AI reshapes fixed income markets and adds to volatility. Building resilient income today may require combining relative-value opportunities in credit, complementary sources of yield and strategies designed to enhance income.
Differentiate credit
Credit dispersion is rising as AI financing needs grow. Active strategies can seek income opportunities in less pressured areas such as high yield, securitized assets and emerging markets.
Find complementary yield
Asian bonds continue to offer competitive yields relative to their duration and less direct exposure to AI-related bond supply.
Harness volatility
Options-based income strategies seek to turn higher market volatility into an additional source of income while helping to manage downside risk.
Roads to growth
The AI cycle remains a powerful driver of growth and investment. Opportunities now extend from AI innovators to the infrastructure enabling the buildout and broader sectors benefiting from adoption.
Stay invested in AI
AI investment continues to support demand across the technology supply chain, creating opportunities through differentiated and dedicated exposures.
Invest around AI
Rising AI power demand is accelerating investment in generation, transmission and supporting infrastructure, creating another route into the AI growth story.
Invest beyond AI
Growth participation is broadening across sectors, with earnings momentum in industrials and financials.
Roads to diversification
As AI-driven concentration and market correlations rise, investors may need different shock absorbers. Adding sources of return that behave differently from traditional stock and bond allocations may benefit portfolios.
Add volatility dampeners
Liquid alternative strategies can help reduce portfolio volatility while seeking return opportunities less tied to market direction.
Strengthen with gold
Gold may continue to play a role as a long-term diversifier, supported by structural demand and evolving market conditions.
Diversify drivers of return
Multi-asset approaches can help reduce dependence on a single theme, market or risk exposure.
