Year-to-date Premia J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Investment Grade USD Bond ETF (Premia Asia IG ETF) has outperformed longer duration peers. Even as US Treasuries yield widened to their highest yields in over two decades, the Asia IG ETF has proven relatively resilient. Across assets classes, some investors now see US Treasuries as better value than US equities and started rotating from US risk asset to duration – yet Asia IG still offers a yield pickup over US Treasury - making it even more attractive. Asian credit spreads widened modestly in recent weeks on concern about Indonesia and Philippines, and have begun to retrace as those worries ease. In our view, the current spread level offers a better window to add to Asia investment grade (IG) credit. Indonesia has been viewed as the region's main fiscal pressure point, with concerns over state spending and the credibility of the 3% of GDP deficit cap weighing on Asian spreads more broadly. The government has since begun to rein in expenditure. While the announced measures look modest, but markets read them as a sign of discipline : Indonesia's 5-year CDS has eased from a recent high of ~96bps to ~91bps as of 12 October, pointing to stabilisation. Meanwhile, despite the near-term pull back in the US 10-year yield, large US deficits point to heavier issuance, so holding long duration outright carries meaningful risk. Shorter-duration IG credit offers a better balance. The Premia J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Investment Grade USD Bond ETF (3411/9411 HK) offers a ~4.3-year duration and a ~5.5% average yield to maturity, with an average A rating and around 10% in floating-rate notes. That lets investors earn carry and stay invested with moderate rate exposure. In a market still arguing over where yields settle, The Premia Asia IG ETF offers a way to be paid while the debate plays out — a better balance between rate bets and carry, and a more sensible place to “keep calm and carry on”.
