Homrich & Berg says bond yields above 5% lift forward return outlook for fixed income

• Homrich & Berg analysis flagged a sharp rise in bond yields over the past six months, lifting forward return prospects for fixed income.
• Starting yields above 5% for most tenors mark the first time since 2007, improving income potential versus pandemic-era sub-1% levels.
• Higher starting yields were cited as a cushion against further rate increases, reducing the hit to total return from price declines.
• A 100-basis-point yield rise still hits prices similarly for a six-year-duration bond, but more coupon income offsets losses at 5% yields.
