EQUITY MARKETS

Dispersion of equity returns was elevated during the quarter. Companies with durable growth drivers seem well placed in current higher yield environment.

FIXED INCOME MARKETS

Uptick in volatility as Central Banks increasingly data dependent. Appetite for corporate bonds remains high despite heavy issuance.
