Comparison against an investment in fixed-income
Key points
• A more relaxed context on rates has allowed interest rate markets to regain some height (in terms of prices)
• Despite higher rates for longer, bonds find some ground
• Fluctuating bond prices in May reflect the market's sensitivity to interest rate expectations and the broader economic outlook
• Maturing structured products displayed more stable and higher returns than a simulated investment in a bond ETF with same duration
Comparison against a direct investment in equities
Key points
• Impressive stock market dynamics since November 2023, only briefly interrupted in April 2024.
• Structured products delivered stable and visible return compared to a direct investment in equity
• Risks for equities remain: a more pronounced resurgence of inflation, unexpected economic downturn, political destabilization
• Structured products offer a more controlled exposure to risky assets
