After seeing their second highest year of inflows ever in 2021, bank loans have remained in focus for fixed income traders and investors to start of 2022. According to data from Lipper, Bank Loan funds took in record weekly inflows of $2.25 bn for the week ended 1/19/22. Prior to that, the two highest weekly inflow totals for the asset class both occurred in August 2013, during the height of the post-GFC “taper tantrum”. The timing of these inflow surges are likely no coincidence: because bank loan coupons are floating rate, they offer a degree of interest rate protection for fixed income investors relative to the fixed coupons of traditional bonds. For this reason, bank loans can be a particularly attractive asset class when yields are rising, or expected to rise, and when inflation, which can precipitate rate hikes, is of concern.
