  • 38 - The return of equity income

    Post-Global Financial Crisis, income investing in equities found itself in the wilderness. The only way to outperform between 2010 and 2020 was to be at the growth-end of the spectrum. But that all changed abruptly in 2022 with spiralling inflation and rising interest rates. In this episode, Stuart Rhodes, Global Dividend Fund Manager, and Alex Araujo, Global Listed Infrastructure Fund Manager, consider the ramifications having snapped out of that anomalous decade, opportunities across sectors and geographies, and why now.  Speakers:Stuart Rhodes, Global Dividend Fund Manager.Alex Araujo, Global Listed Infrastructure Fund Manager.

  • 37 - The long-term megatrend of European private asset-backed finance

    While Europe’s private asset-backed finance markets have been growing in importance for a number of years, it's only in recent years where we've seen the regulatory pressures that banks are facing come to the fore, fuelling a strong desire to shrink balance sheets and increase capital. This has created a wealth of opportunities, with a significant number of transactions coming to market almost every week. Listen to this episode of The Investment Podcast to find out more about why we think the Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) market is poised for significant growth over the coming years – and what’s driving a steady stream of core loan portfolio sales in various jurisdictions.   Speakers:James King, Head of Structured Credit.Jo Tomkins, Investment Specialist – Structured Credit. Host: Romil Patel, Global Managing Editor.   Credit risk: Investments may be exposed to the possibility that a debtor will not meet their repayment obligations.Liquidity risk (closed-ended): Investments may be illiquid, as a result it may be difficult to realise, sell or dispose of an investment at an attractive price or at the appropriate time or in response to changing market conditions.Concentration risk: Due to their limited number, investments may be affected adversely by the unfavourable performance of a single issuer.Derivative risk: The use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes may expose investments to a higher degree of risk and may cause larger than average price fluctuations.Currency risk: Investments may be exposed to currency rate movements.Equity risk: As equity is subordinate to all other claims into an underlying investment, investments may be exposed to the possibility of a low or zero recovery.Prepayment risk: Loans may be prepaid by issuers at short notice, as a result it may be difficult to locate and reinvest capital at an attractive price or at all, which may adversely affect investments.        For Investment Professionals only.
