Make your cash work harder in a world of near-zero interest rates
The world’s central banks have sent interest rates plummeting in recent years, in a bid to spur productivity following the global financial crisis of 2008. The consequence of this trend has been near-zero interest rates, prevalent in many global economies today.
With an ever-present clamour for income, individuals and institutions alike have directed capital towards higher-risk, higher-reward assets - notably corporate bonds. With interest rates at current levels, the ability to profit from such bonds is extremely limited, and their status as a safe-haven investment has been greatly eroded.
Additionally, due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, world leaders are embarking on debt-sponsored stimulus packages, magnifying the potential risk that a global debt crisis will ensue. The time-honoured way for central banks, kings and governments to deal with such a crisis is currency devaluation, which will inevitably pose a threat to capital.
