BNP Paribas AM: Global warming catches up with us
To address adversity, you first have to recognise the nature of it; next, you have to know where it is and how it behaves and moves; to tackle it, you need to uncover all its secret weapons. And so it is with climate change: we have identified it and its sources; now we need to identify those who will take charge of dispatching of it, take the necessary measures and “rally the troops”.

BNP Paribas AM - Infrastructure debt: investors focus on renewable energy
Today when we look at yield, we tend to see it only in absolute terms but when we compare the yield/equity risk ratio of debt and equity, debt remains attractive: it is less volatile, less risky and can provide a steady return over time. Moreover, security rights are provided in cases of default. The yield offered is thus linked to the risk, which is quite low. These assets still deliver – thanks to the illiquidity premium – an additional return of between 100 and 150 basis points over bonds rated in the same category.

Emerging market debt (EM debt) has been the subject of much interest over the last few years, but recent volatility has created uncertainty about the asset class. We are convinced that besides offering an attractive return/risk ratio and the potential for high returns, current valuations constitute an attractive entry point.
BNP Paribas AM: Infrastructure debt: powering ahead
