Скачать или смотреть Navigating Credit Markets with Robert Cohen: Up in Quality, Short on Duration

Robert Cohen, Director of Global Developed Credit at DoubleLine, joins Zephyr’s “Adjusted for Risk” podcast, hosted by Ryan Nauman, for a deep dive into the evolving fixed-income landscape. Mr. Cohen talks macroeconomic volatility and the implications of tariffs, and he also discusses the resilience of corporate earnings as a reliable economic indicator. “Companies producing a good or service, selling it, getting the response from their customers – that’s a little bit closer to real economic activity,” he explains, emphasizing the importance of earnings in gauging short-term economic health.

Mr. Cohen advocates for a high-quality, short-duration approach to credit and highlights the attractiveness of fixed income relative to equities in today’s market. The discussion also touches on how today’s interest rates enhance the competitiveness of bonds in delivering stable returns with lower volatility.

Looking ahead, Mr. Cohen discusses the potential for AI-driven productivity gains and the resurgence of foreign investment opportunities, suggesting that global fixed income is entering a promising phase. He underscores the importance of active management in navigating fast-moving markets and encourages financial advisers to reassess their allocation strategies. “Markets are moving faster and asset allocation, active management is critical,” Mr. Cohen notes.
