We are cautious on investment-grade credit as we foresee continued volatility throughout 2018. The corporate market is supported by solid U.S. macroeconomic growth and an improving growth trajectory out of Europe and Asia. Still, as the market cycle progresses, we are becoming more careful with security selection and are seeking to minimize idiosyncratic risk.
