Tactical asset allocation has always been viewed with immense scepticism by fixed income benchmark investors. Typically, access has been difficult - either for operational reasons or high costs. In the case where solutions have existed, they have tended to either be partial (largely focused on managing duration risk) or introduce latent risks into the portfolio due to position mis-matches. In our latest paper 'Democratizing tactical allocation and expanding the CTA universe', we discuss how investors can use four credit futures based on Bloomberg Fixed Income benchmarks, to systematically incorporate elements of tactical asset allocation (TAA) into their long-only fixed income portfolios. Another application is the use of these credit futures in global macro strategies - which have traditionally had to rely on Treasury futures to populate the fixed income sleeve. The research can be found on the Bloomberg Terminal: https://lnkd.in/dDcQMThC If you'd like to discuss this material further, do get in touch with any of the authors. #benchmark #TAA #credit #fixedincome #bloomberg
