Messaggio importante: attenzione alle truffe di impersonificazione

Attualmente stanno circolando messaggi e annunci fraudolenti su piattaforme di messaggistica, tra cui WhatsApp, che si spacciano per i suoi professionisti degli investimenti e il marchio Candriam. Si prega di notare che Candriam non offre mai raccomandazioni di investimento né fornisce consulenza finanziaria tramite canali social o piattaforme di messaggistica.

An approach aiming to absorb shocks, not amplify them  

Credit can feel calm because returns are steady most of the time. But credit is asymmetric: the upside is limited to the coupon, while the downside can be permanent if fundamentals weaken or liquidity disappears.

That is why our approach starts with risk management: we focus on making risk visible, measurable and discussable long before it has the chance to surprise a portfolio.

Why focus on risk?

A focus on risk is what turns credit from a source of uncertainty into a source of disciplined income. By analysing downside drivers, liquidity and structure in advance, investors can distinguish between risks that are compensated and those that are not.  

The upside is capped

Credit rewards discipline. When spreads widen or liquidity disappears at the wrong moment, bondholders learn quickly that “safe” can be situational.

Liquidity can vanish

Bond markets can be liquid in quiet conditions and unforgiving in stress. Managing liquidity early is part of managing risk.

Structure is part of risk

Covenants, seniority and recovery prospects often drive outcomes more than headline yield. In credit, the fine print matters.
