Frontier markets are still a buy

The gradual return to pre-pandemic levels has marked a pause, but we think there is still value in high-yield sovereign bonds. We examine a set of frontier markets which are particularly attractive, including Egypt, Sri Lanka, and Argentina. In Africa, the post-Covid environment has intensified the pressure on public finances; we focus our attention on Ghana and Angola, both countries are facing a defining moment for their economic policies.

We will be repeating the same webinar to cater for the difference in time zones between APAC, EMEA and the Americas:

  • APAC – Tuesday 24th August | 10:00 HKT
  • EMEA – Tuesday 24th August | 10:00 BST
  • Americas – Tuesday 24th August | 16:00 EDT

Why the cruise sector will rebound faster than after the Great Recession

The cruise sector was hit following the Great Recession by continued increases in capacity while travel demand slowed sharply – deep discounting was required at that time to spur demand. We are now seeing an apparent parallel trend as new cruise capacity spiked in 2022, despite travel remaining well below pre-pandemic norms in most destinations. In this webinar we describe the amount of additional new capacity that will be launched in coming years as well as demand expectations and why we believe sector recovery and cruise pricing will differ in this current cycle.

The sovereign crises wave has broken, so has the resolution toolkit

The biggest wave of sovereign crises since the 1980s could be the most intractable ever, being caught in a geopolitical trap in which China and the Western-dominated IMF each have valid criticisms of the other’s deeply entrenched approach to resolution. We assess causes and prospects.
