Yields are high but must be preserved by avoiding defaults, particularly as the credit market bifurcates into the "haves" and the "have-nots."   ICYMI you can listen to David Rosenberg's full interview with Global Investment Institute here: https://lnkd.in/g9nKGWE9 #AlternativeInvesting #InsightsInFocus

  • “When you buy credit, you have a contract.  Your return is set by the yield.  The only thing that can ruin that is the company defaults, and then they don’t pay.  It really comes down to the investors who are the best at credit are the ones who avoid those defaults.  And so we say credit is less about winning and more about not losing.”

Is avoiding default really the best strategy for a diversified portfolio? Maybe it could be better to accept defaults while making sure that spreads and recovery rates fully compensate for them.
