Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund outperformed in Q2 2024 on strong interest rate and credit positioning. The team maintains a constructive outlook for global fixed income, particularly emerging markets, citing attractive income levels and rate differentials."

Executive Summary

Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2024, with interest rate and credit positioning adding to relative returns while foreign currency exposure detracted. The fund maintains a constructive outlook for global fixed income, led by emerging markets, where robust income levels and attractive interest rate differentials versus developed markets offer compelling opportunities. Global economic growth broadened during the quarter with some divergence, as US resilience continued and Eurozone growth improved. Select developed market central banks made their first rate cuts as disinflation resumed, while the Fed remained on hold but signaled easing ahead. The managers expect two Fed rate cuts this year, which should benefit global markets, particularly emerging markets enjoying solid growth and lower inflation. During the quarter, the fund reduced foreign currency exposure, increased duration positioning, and added credit exposure through Agency mortgages. Looking forward, the team sees a favorable environment for global fixed income with varying inflation and growth dynamics creating interesting opportunities across different economies.
