EnglishCapital Preservation
With rising interest rates, the earnings outlook for capital preservation concepts is better than it’s been for several years – especially for concepts with a defensive fixed minimum value limit. Earnings expectations are rising at a much faster pace than money market levels because higher interest rates have a double effect. Not only does the expected return on the secure underlying investment improve, but the available risk budget also increases so that allocations can be noticeably higher. This means that significantly higher returns can be expected while maintaining the same minimum value limit.
Using our rule-based methodology, we can constantly adjust the asset allocation of Metzler’s capital preservation funds to the current market environment and thus successfully stabilize performance in all market cycles.
