"Uncertainty is a permanent feature of investing that often leads to market overreactions and mispriced assets. Successful fixed income investing relies on staying invested and capitalizing on these dislocations rather than attempting to time the market."
In the 2Q 2025 commentary, Adam D. Abbas addresses the common misconception that market uncertainty equals lower expected returns. He argues that uncertainty simply widens the range of outcomes, which can lead to attractive price discounts. Highlighting April 2025's market volatility—fueled by tariff fears, war escalation, and fiscal deficits—he details how the fund capitalized on excessive spread widening by adding 12 percentage points of credit risk. He uses a mathematical card game analogy to demonstrate how wider potential ranges can actually result in higher expected values, and warns against the behavioral drag of trying to time fixed income markets.
