Equity-like Returns with Debt-Level Risk: Dream or Reality?
Equities, or stocks, have always held a strong appeal for investors and have been a fundamental component of numerous investment portfolios for valid reasons. Historically, the S&P 500 (including dividends) have yielded an impressive average return of 12.8% from 1950 to 2023. Nevertheless, this trajectory has been anything but steady, characterized by significant events such as Black Monday (which saw the Dow plummet by -22%), the Internet Bubble Crash (resulting in a -78% loss for NASDAQ), and the Great Financial Crisis (where the S&P 500 experienced a decline exceeding -20%).
For those who prefer a more conservative investment strategy, bonds present an opportunity for stability, capital preservation, and offering a consistent flow of interest payments. From 1950-2023, the 10-year treasury bond has maintained an average yield of 5.4%, providing a “calmer” investment option compared to stocks, albeit with returns around 40% lower and without the highs and lows associated with the stock market. However this doesn’t mean there hasn’t been any fluctuations in its returns.
Rise of Private Private Credit
Traditional fixed income has faced challenges over the past few years, while equities or stocks have thrived in contrast. This shift has paved the way for the rise in popularity of alternative investments such as private credit, as investors seek to strengthen the fixed income segment of their portfolios.
