Brad Tank, CIO - fixed income at Neuberger Berman, looks at how market volatility in Q2 2019 has changed his assessment of value and positioning across several credit markets.

The global soft landing is upon us. Global economic growth has slowed, and markets have become more volatile - rife with fears of hard landings, recessions and market crashes.

But in many cases, dramatic movements in market prices turn out to be not much more than temporary overreactions to changing theories.

At these times, the real investing opportunity is to recognise and exploit short-term dislocations.

After the de-risking of credit instruments in the first and second quarter, we think the outlook and opportunities are sufficiently compelling for investors to begin re-deploying capital into select fixed income markets while remaining cautious on the scope of central bank easing currently priced into markets.

Here, we outline how market volatility in the second quarter has changed our assessment of value and positioning across several credit markets.
