Historically, sitting on the fence has implied indecisiveness. But can a high conviction view be a lack of conviction? Investors may be facing a regime shift in markets that changes the traditional relationship between growth and defensive allocations. In a low conviction world, an allocation to a blend of public and private credit makes sense. It allows investors to sit on the fence, retaining flexibility through a period of heightened uncertainty while still generating an acceptable return. - Pete Robinson, CIP Asset Management.
