Selectividad y diversificación: dos elementos clave en la gestión de los bonos high yield para protegerse de las caídas y aprovechar las alteraciones del mercado. Apostar por lo global ofrece oportunidades de diversificación y alfa, no sólo en tiempos de volatilidad e incertidumbre.
¿Por qué el high yield global está aquí para quedarse?
Al analizar el mercado de high yield (HY), puede ser beneficioso adoptar una perspectiva global. En vista de la reciente volatilidad y de la actual incertidumbre relacionada con los efectos de la pandemia de la COVID-19 sobre los mercados financieros mundiales, creemos que la selectividad y la diversificación son fundamentales para protegerse de las caídas y para aprovechar las dislocaciones del mercado en los mercados de bonos HY.
A lo largo de la última década, el mercado global de bonos HY ha duplicado con creces su tamaño, y actualmente asciende a 2,7 billones de dólares (a 31/12/20). En particular, los mercados europeos y emergentes (EM) han adquirido una importancia creciente en todo el mercado HY. Hay evidencias de que abordar el mercado de bonos HY con un enfoque global, en lugar de una perspectiva centrada en EE.UU., podría proporcionar oportunidades adicionales de diversificación y alfa. Estos beneficios potenciales de diversificación pueden observarse, entre otros aspectos, desde una perspectiva de calificación, sectorial y regional.
Posibles puntos clave en esta clase de activos
El crecimiento de los mercados de high yield europeo y de los mercados emergentes ha hecho que la clase de activos High Yield Global esté más diversificada y sea demasiado grande como para ser ignorada.
El High Yield Global ofrece varias ventajas de diversificación frente al US High Yield desde una perspectiva de calidad crediticia, sectorial y geográfica.
Las ineficiencias del mercado global y las discrepancias de precios entre los bonos denominados en diferentes monedas pueden presentar atractivas oportunidades de inversión.
El secured high yield es un segmento interesante del mercado de High Yield Global y puede aportar valor añadido.
Rendimiento y riesgo
Desde la creación del índice Global HY en 1997, el Global HY ha superado al US HY en 13 de los 23 años naturales transcurridos entre 1998 y 2020. Los mayores periodos de rentabilidad inferior fueron: 2001, durante la burbuja de las punto.com; 2008, durante la crisis financiera mundial; 2011, durante la crisis de la deuda europea; y 2016, cuando los mercados emergentes experimentaron volatilidad a raíz de la subida de tipos de la Reserva Federal y de las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos.
