Fitch's Inside Credit: Corporate Bond Liquidity a Major Concern for U.S. Investors

This week's edition of Fitch Ratings' Inside Credit newsletter features the findings of the Fitch Ratings/Fixed Income Forum senior U.S. investor survey.

In this edition of the survey, U.S. credit investors expressed high levels of concern about secondary corporate bond market liquidity, with 49% of respondents indicating they were 'concerned' and 37% 'very concerned.'

'Some investors now say that liquidity issues are the largest risk to markets as a whole and that the next downturn or period of weaker sentiment could be more disruptive than in August 2011,' says Monica Insoll, Managing Director of Credit Market Research.
