Fixed Income Outlook 2Q25

4-29-25

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  1. Fixed income markets were aided by falling yields over the
    quarter, as investors flocked to bonds given the uncertain
    market outlook.
  2. While credit spreads moved wider over the quarter, they remain
    narrow by historical standards and we do not believe this is the
    right time to add additional exposure.
  3. We expect continued volatility in the bond market as the lack of
    fiscal policy stability may drive unpredictable moves in interest
    rates and corporate bond spreads.
  4. We continue to believe that our clients are best served by our
    focus on building high-quality portfolios that provide liquidity
    and strive for long-term principal protection.
