Summary
Markets bounced back, but some investors still aren't buying it. Despite the recovery in equities, positioning remains cautious as high yield fundamentals hold firm. Tim Leary, Senior Portfolio Manager on RBC GAM's BlueBay Leveraged Finance team, discusses the evolving dynamics between quality carry and market timing in today's environment. The S&P recovered to flat for the year, yet investors seem to remain split between thinking they missed the rally and expecting another drop. High yield tech companies show stronger balance sheets and more diverse investor interest than their private credit counterparts, despite concerns around AI and private debt. Nearly 90% of the US high yield market carries BB or B ratings, offering potentially consistent income as private credit markets face redemption pressures.
