The "golden age of diversification" is over - at least for the time being.
2022 delivered final evidence for most investors globally, that government bonds don´t deliver diversification anymore, something which was already observable within the Eurozone since the 2015 Greece crisis. Higher inflation rates finally changed the stock/bond correlation, which has been negative since the triple Asia-/Russia-/LTCM crisis 25 years ago. The current iSTOXX Quarterly takes a closer look at the ability of f...
