Why credit markets can keep running strong
Damien McCann
Fixed Income Portfolio Manager

Credit markets have remained robust, even as interest rates have soared to multi-decade highs.


In this interview, Capital Group portfolio manager Damien McCann explains why he expects this resilience to continue and discusses the opportunities he sees in multi-sector credit portfolios designed to generate income from a combination of corporate bonds, emerging markets debt and securitised credit.


Overall, McCann says this is a constructive backdrop for credit, with improved economic growth expected and inflation still coming down gradually. This is not to say credit fundamentals are fine everywhere, but problems are more idiosyncratic and tend to be ascribable to individual industries or issuers.


Technicals are also supportive: now rates are higher, borrowers are choosing to borrow less or for shorter periods of time. Higher rates are also creating more interest in credit from lenders and bond investors.
