Why Fixed Income May Matter More In Today’s Market [Chills 281, Sponsored by Aberdeen]

Most investors love talking about equities. But in a world of higher interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, tariff risks, AI disruption, and shaky market narratives, fixed income may be more interesting than many people realise. **Natalie Tan**, Head of Wholesale for Southeast Asia, and **Nathaniel Wilson**, Fixed Income Investment Specialist at Aberdeen Investments, break down how bonds, credit strategies, investment grade, high yield, emerging market debt, frontier bonds, and short-duration fixed income actually fit into a portfolio. Not as “boring stuff for retirees”, but as tools that can help investors manage volatility, generate income, and think more clearly about risk. The big shift? Yields have reset higher. That means fixed income may no longer be just the defensive sidekick in your portfolio. Depending on your objective, it could play a bigger role than expected. For Singapore professionals who usually think “CPF is my bond” or go all-in on equities, this may be worth rethinking. Are bonds finally interesting again? **Learn more about Aberdeen’s investment solutions here:**https://www.aberdeeninvestments.com/en-my/investor/investment-solutions/all-asset-classes https://www.aberdeeninvestments.com/en-sg/investor/investment-solutions/credit ***Disclaimer:*** *This content is produced in partnership with Aberdeen Investments for educational purposes.
