In a low yield environment, generating returns from fixed income can be challenging. However, there are still strategies investors can employ to maximize their returns. One such strategy is to diversify their fixed income portfolio across different sectors and geographies, and to consider alternative fixed income investments.

The stock market has a good record of predicting the outcome of US presidential elections. However, this time around, the signals are mixed, with many investors turning to alternative methods of forecasting the election outcome. While the S&P 500 Index has gone up around 4% since August, suggesting a Trump victory, Trump’s chance of winning re-election was only 35% on 27th October. Regardless of who wins the presidential election, investors should focus on diversification and adopt a long-term investment strategy that aligns with their risk tolerance and financial goals.
