London, 13 February 2023. Robus Capital experts see little consensus in expectations for European high-yield markets in 2023. Performance estimates ranged from -8 percent to +15 percent, compared to a maximum of 2 percent to 3 percent in the past. “Even if a recession in some key European countries can actually be avoided at the last minute, there is still quite a bit of sand in the gears. Supply chains are still not back on track and the energy issue is not off the table either, despite the mild winter. The bottom line could be a positive return of 6-7 percent, but we don’t believe in a return to a linear development like in the past years,” says Mark Hoffmann, portfolio manager at Robus Capital.

London, January 25, 2023. Robus Capital, Germany’s leading institutional asset manager specializing in publicly traded corporate bonds and loans from mid-sized companies in Europe, is raising return targets for two of tis corporate bond funds. “Our specialization in credit instruments for middle-market companies benefits both our partners and our investors. Already during the pandemic, we’ve seen that smaller financing adjustments can prove to be a big relief to healthy companies that can be very rewarding,” says Mark Hoffmann, Portfolio Manager of Robus Capital.

London, July 18, 2022. Robus Capital, an investor specializing in mid-market credit issues from Europe, expects credit markets to become increasingly choppy, even if they are not currently pricing in any major defaults. “After more than twelve favorable years, including the past two Covid years, the tipping point in credit markets has arrived. The pressure is mounting, and troubled companies will hardly be able to hold out for long,” expects Mark Hoffmann, Portfolio Manager at Robus Capital. Especially non-investment-grade European credit issuers can quickly run into liquidity problems due to interrupted supply chains, galloping inflation and energy security problems.
