The search for reliable sources of income in today’s environment is forcing investors to look beyond their usual universe. Ongoing volatility due to macroeconomic and geopolitical risks has focused attention on finding the assets, geographies and strategies that enable portfolios to achieve the desired levels of yield, diversification and ESG alignment.
