BofA Securities Highlights Impact of Interest Rate Volatility on Credit Fund Flows
BofA Securities reported that elevated interest rate volatility, measured by the SMOVEU3M index at around 90 points, is causing investors to favor safer assets like government debt, leading to weakened flows into credit funds. High-yield and government bond funds experienced outflows, while high-grade mid- and long-term funds saw inflows. Money market funds also faced withdrawals. Despite these trends, global emerging market debt funds continued to attract investments, extending their inflow streak to eight weeks.
