Global markets currently face high levels of uncertainty. Inflation remains elevated in developed economies, the trajectory of monetary policy is unclear, and complex geopolitical tensions add further complexity to the outlook. At times like this, it makes sense for fixed-income investors to broaden their portfolio exposure.

Asian fixed income presents attractive opportunities to diversify across markets, supported by solid macroeconomic fundamentals, accelerating AI development, ongoing supply chain realignment and relatively compelling yields. Its strength compared to other regions makes a strong case for investors to consider a strategic allocation to Asia within their global portfolios.

It is a challenging time for the global economy. Not only are there serious disruptions to trade, but there are also growing concerns about the high levels of indebtedness in some of the largest economies. But despite this difficult backdrop, Asia remains an economic bright spot, accounting for around 60 per cent of global growth,¹ while at the same time presenting relatively benign levels of inflation compared to many Western economies.

Asia is not homogeneous. Each market presents its own growth story, monetary policy trajectory and credit profile, creating a diverse set of opportunities for strategic and tactical allocations that can potentially result in a more resilient portfolio.

Hong Kong dollar (HKD) bonds can complement a broader Asia allocation. For investors with HK dollar liabilities, the market provides high-quality assets in the currency of the obligation. For US dollar-based investors, Hong Kong’s link to the currency can also help limit risk.

Issuers in the Hong Kong dollar market typically have good credit quality, including the Hong Kong government, as well as other well-rated quasi-sovereign, supranational and corporate issuers. Yields in Hong Kong are relatively modest, but the market’s robust credit fundamentals and relatively contained local inflation have supported its defensive characteristics. This can make HKD bonds a comparatively stable source of defensive exposure.

For some investors, accessing the market through individual securities can be challenging. Institutional minimum sizes can put many issues out of reach, liquidity can be thin in some parts of the market, and most HKD non-government bonds are issued through private placements rather than via public offerings. For that reason, many investors find a fund or exchange-traded fund the more practical route into the asset class.

Asia US dollar credit: resilience amid volatility

Beyond local currency markets, the Asia US dollar bond market can provide diversification benefits for global investors, underpinned by robust investment-grade fundamentals and improving high-yield conditions.

Asia dollar investment-grade credit has historically held up well in periods when external events have widened spreads – such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the start of the conflict in Ukraine in 2022, the implementation of new tariffs by the US in 2025 and the energy price shock that followed the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz off Iran.

Resilience, in part, reflects the quality and composition of the Asia credit universe. About 87 per cent of the constituents in the J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Index are classified as investment grade.² Furthermore, the index’s composition has become less concentrated over time, with greater diversification across geographies and sectors.

Within Asia credit, two investment themes stand out.

The first is supply chain realignment. Many international companies are implementing so-called “China plus one” strategies, which extend supply chains to other Asian economies. At the same time, more mainland Chinese companies are expanding manufacturing operations across the region, especially in Southeast Asia. All this drives capex and local infrastructure financing, which may support a broader regional corporate bond universe – potentially giving investors greater diversification and more opportunities to identify relative value across markets and sectors.

The second theme is artificial intelligence (AI). Select Asian technology companies are likely to see demand lift as AI adoption widens. Momentum remains strong in Asian hardware tech, including leading regional foundry and memory chip companies, which stand to benefit from data centre demand and a memory super-upcycle. Fundamentals in these segments remain stable, with manageable capex well within financial limits.

Often thought of as an equity story, AI is increasingly relevant to Asian fixed income as well, broadening the investable universe. Technology now accounts for about 10 per cent of the Asia US dollar investment-grade universe, underscoring the rapid growth of tech- and AI-linked exposure.3

Spreads in both investment-grade and high-yield markets have narrowed in recent years, with high yield making a recovery after China’s property market downturn.

Although spreads are relatively tight, Asia credit continues to be supported by shorter duration, robust local funding markets and sound corporate fundamentals. Potential alpha can be found in relative value opportunities and careful security selection.

Building a strategic allocation

In short, all these factors mean Asian fixed income can be treated as a strategic allocation rather than a tactical one. The region’s growth profile, subdued inflation and a diverse mix of markets gives investors more ways to build resilience into a global portfolio, while supply chain realignment and AI adoption are opening up parts of the corporate universe that were previously the reserve of equity investors.

Within that allocation, HKD bonds serve a more specific purpose, acting as a defensive, high-rated local-currency holding for investors with HK dollar liabilities, and a way for US dollar-based investors to add regional exposure without taking in significant currency risk.
