Aviva Investors bullish about risk assets over next 6 months

Singapore

GLOBAL asset manager Aviva Investors is buying high-yielding corporate bonds and stocks as the environment for risk-taking improves across financial markets, the group's head of investment strategy said.

The more aggressive investment strategy is based on the view that the Federal Reserve will take a more cautious approach to monetary tightening over the next six months and that most of the collapse in commodity prices has already worked its way through markets. Additionally, the risks of a sharp slowdown in China appear to be receding.
