Why Invest in Securitised Credit

Attractive Yields

Securitised credit assets typically offer investors a higher yield, for a given credit rating, versus traditional fixed income investments. In return, elevated income from securitised credit helps smooth return streams in volatile markets.

Diversification

Securitised credit offers valuable portfolio diversification by providing a low correlation to traditional fixed income, which typically comprises Treasuries and investment-grade bonds.

Stability

Due to floating rate structures and short tenors, securitised credit is typically less sensitive to changes in interest rate expectations and can act as a volatility buffer for diversified portfolios.

Securitised credit assets have structural features, which are not typically present in corporate credit, to protect investors from losses.

“
In today’s market where credit spreads are fair/tight, allocation to securitised credit can diversify fixed income portfolios (usually skewed towards global bonds/corporates) and provide an alternative higher-yielding source of income.”
