Fintech-driven alternative lending is a nascent, consumer-focused private credit asset class that potentially offers yield pick-up, as well as duration and diversification benefits.

Why Invest in Emerging Markets Small Caps?
With little sell side coverage and so many growing companies, the small cap space offers high information inefficiencies with less volatility at an attractive price. And we believe their time is now.

In our view, 2019 was a mid-cycle reset where the Fed cut rates three times, capital expenditure bottomed out and global GDP slowed. The bad news is that yields are low and investors are long on duration, a big risk given that the Fed will likely stay on the sidelines and not lower rates in 2020.

This time last year the market projected the economy was headed into a recession, and the Fed engaged in a policy mistake by planning to hike rates above 3.00%. Instead, what we realized was 75bps of rate cuts along with cuts from global central banks and a restart of quantitative easing (QE).

Fixed income plays a special role in managing risk because it tends to be a safer, more liquid and less volatile asset. We still think that is largely true, however, there is a catch. Traditional bond strategies may be less effective in acting as a hedge and also have less appreciation potential than when yields were higher.
