AltsWire: As Bonds Regain Their Footing, Private Credit Stands Tall

AltsWire - Since January, volatility in Washington has added new layers of complexity to the investment landscape. Once buoyed by resilient consumer spending and AI-driven optimism, equity markets have stumbled as investors weighed the risk of disrupted supply chains, higher costs, and slower global growth.

Yet amid this turbulence, bonds have quietly returned to form, resuming their traditional role as portfolio ballast. U.S. Treasurys and high-grade corporates have attracted meaningful inflows amid signs of a cooling labor market and slowing economy, which had reignited rate cut expectations.

However, recent volatility in longer-term yields – despite expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut rates by up to 100 basis points this year – underscores the importance of active duration management. In this environment, with a backdrop of geopolitical tensions and unpredictable trade dynamics, traditional bonds alone may not offer sufficient protection or return.

Private credit – especially strategies focused on senior secured lending, real estate credit or asset-backed deals – is proving to be a powerful complement to traditional fixed income. These investments typically deliver high, consistent cash flow, often in the 8% to 12% range, allowing portfolios to generate meaningful income while materially shortening duration.

桃树集团 欢迎首席经济学家马克·赞迪 穆迪分析,以获取我们最新的市场动态。马克负责指导宏观经济、金融市场和公共政策方面的经济研究,并对美国经济的表现和短期前景发表了见解,强调了乐观的理由,同时重点关注在通货膨胀放缓的情况下商业房地产和私人信贷投资的稳定收益。

以下是他的演讲中的一些主要亮点:

经济和市场表现:

  1. 2023 年实际国内生产总值增长:约2.5%,超出预期,尽管最初存在经济衰退担忧,但仍显示出强劲的一年。
  2. 2024 年实际国内生产总值增长:预计上半年约为1.5%,全年预计约为2%。
  3. 失业:目前略高于4%,比往年略有增加,但仍被认为很低。
  4. 通胀:继续保持温和,目前的水平非常接近美联储2%的目标。
  5. 长期利率:10年期美国国债收益率预计将稳定在4-4.5%左右,抵押贷款利率可能略低于6%。
  6. 商业地产:市场正在调整,尤其是在办公领域,但预计未来几年整体价格下降和交易量将稳定下来。

积极的事态发展:

  1. 供应方面的改进:移民人数的增加、生产率的增加和美国石油产量的激增帮助缓解了通货膨胀压力。
  2. 消费者支出:尽管低收入家庭陷入困境,但高收入家庭仍处于强劲的财务状况,推动了经济向前发展。

潜在风险:

  1. 美联储政策:担心如果美联储不尽快降息,可能会导致金融不稳定。
  2. 选举结果: 可能出现社会动荡和政策不确定性,视结果而定。
  3. 长期财政问题:如果长期财政挑战得不到解决,债务与国内生产总值的比率很高,未来可能发生财政危机。

投资环境:

我们也对经济持乐观态度,并认为软着陆是最有可能的情况,这与我们的资本投资方式非常一致。尽管某些商业房地产投资在适应更高的长期利率环境时将面临挑战,但对于Peachtree Group的信贷短期和长期资本投资以及包括未来几年酒店业发展在内的机会主义战略而言,这仍然是一个有利的环境。总体而言,马克讨论的许多总体主题都与我们在市场上观察到的相呼应,特别是:

  1. 稳定利率:随着10年期美国国债收益率和抵押贷款利率的稳定,未来三年将有2万亿美元的贷款到期,高度混乱的贷款环境变得更加易于管理,为商业房地产项目的融资和再融资创造了可预测的环境。这可能导致投资活动的增加。
  2. 通货膨胀适度: 随着通货膨胀的放缓,房地产运营和开发的成本压力有所缓解,提高了盈利能力和投资回报。
  3. 消费者支出:尽管当前面临挑战,但强劲的消费者支出,尤其是来自高收入家庭的消费支出,支撑了零售和酒店业对商业空间的需求。
  4. 私人信贷机会:: 传统贷款市场的混乱为以下方面创造了重要机会 私人信贷投资,由于交易中有大量的股票缓冲,因此可以提供诱人的股票类回报,风险相对较低。
  5. 监管环境:面临压力的地区银行可能会退出商业房地产贷款,这为另类贷款机构开辟了机会。这有利于私人信贷投资者和拥有贷款购买和资本重组资金的投资者,同时利用公司的纪律严明的流程和战略性房地产所有权。
