Investment Week asked managers, CIOs, analysts and CEOs about the outlook for the second half of 2024. Thomas Kyriakoudis, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, gave his assessment of the private credit market.   In the first half of 2024, floating rate credit products have delivered excellent returns on the back of a market rally, low default rates and high interest rates, according to Thomas. However, as the capital markets have recovered, there is increasing evidence of spread compression in some pockets of the market and the prospect of rate cuts remains.   Find out more here (article behind paywall): https://lnkd.in/dBypDqeU   #lgtcapitalpartners #lgtcp #privatecredit #outlook

Bloomberg writes about frontier market debt outperforming high-grade emerging market bonds and asked Jetro Siekkinen, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, about his views on the market. According to Jetro, frontier markets offer diversification potential as their returns tend to have a relatively low correlation to global capital markets and to each other. “What happens in Uruguay does not have any meaning for Uganda and what goes on in Uganda doesn’t impact Uzbekistan,” he says. LGT Capital Partners covers around 170 countries across emerging and frontier markets. From this vast universe, the team selects countries that are best positioned to foster sustainable economic growth.

"Cyber catastrophe bonds may be the new kid on the insurance-linked securities (ILS) block, but they have been talked about for years" - that's what Investment & Pensions Europe (IPE) writes in its latest story. According to the media, "the jury is out, though, as to whether they will follow the same trajectory as their natural cat bond peers. While some analysts believe they have the potential to go mainstream, others cite concerns over modelling and lack of diversification."
