- A normal corporate high-yield allocation in client accounts if you look across model portfolios is roughly 10%-15%. The clients that can handle that risk have been closer to 20% (or more) for most of 2020, but that overweight is now being reduced.
- With most macroeconomic and forecasting models expecting 6% GDP growth in 2021 (and some even higher than that), there is a LOT of good news baked into corporate credit spreads.
