Institutional Perspectives

Critical thinking on the markets, the economy and investing from the investment teams at Columbia Threadneedle Investments.

An electrifying opportunity: Investing in the global energy transition

Electrification of the economy is key to decarbonization and a pillar of the global shift toward a green power paradigm. Mary Titler, Senior Fixed Income Analyst, examines the central role of the U.S. electric utility sector in decarbonizing the economy in an effort to achieve net-zero emissions goals, the drivers that are supporting this trend and potential investment implications.

A deep dive into the global chip shortage: A roundtable discussion

As the global microchip shortage has become headline news in recent months, Columbia Threadneedle analysts and investment leaders came together to discuss the story behind the shortage, how it happened and what we can expect next.

High-yield forecast: Default projections are down

Our High-Yield Credit Research Team's forecast indicates that default projections have fallen dramatically, driven by economic reopening, fiscal stimulus and significant market liquidity. However, energy, real estate, leisure and transportation sectors continue to present the areas most vulnerable to downside risk.
