Understanding asset class behaviour
We Consider Return Drivers
Example: European Corporate Bonds
Focus on returns from duration and credit risk rather than total return
• A return driver is interpreted as a risk
premium
• Risk is easier to identify when focusing
on risk premiums rather than asset classes
• Correlation analysis is more robust for
risk premiums than for asset classes
