Asia investment-grade bonds offer stability and yield

The hard currency investment grade (IG) segment, which makes up nearly 80% of the market, offers distinct advantages compared to its developed market peers.

As such, Asian IG bonds are expected to perform well due to two key reasons — strong economic fundamentals in Asia and attractive yields of this asset class.
