Amy Xie Patrick: Why it’s a myth that you shouldn’t buy bonds in a hiking cycle
Bonds can be an appropriate investment in a hiking cycle – as long as you know what to look for, argues Pendal’s head of income strategies AMY XIE PATRICK

An excerpt from this podcast
Amy Xie Patrick, Pendal’s head of income strategies:
In a lot of hiking cycles, bonds actually do okay on a total return basis – that is, the income you get from the coupon on those bonds, as well as their potential to gain a little bit in terms of the capital price.
That usually is because most hiking cycles are fairly well flagged, especially in modern economic history.
The difference with this hiking cycle is the central banks just simply left it too late and now have to do a lot of catch up.
But even though central banks may need to keep on hiking, now their mantra is very well flagged to the market there is hope that bonds do better in the second half of this hiking cycle.
It does mean you probably want to look at having bonds in your portfolio as a defensive pillar, more towards the longer end of curves.
Because, at the shorter end, that’s directly tied to where policy rates are going. And as we know, nobody has signaled that they’re ready to peak and pivot more dovishly just yet.
