Nearly 9 out 10 senior institutional investors expect the companies they invest in to spend more money shareholder-oriented transactions such as share-buybacks and dividend increases, and near nothing on reducing corporate debt, according a new Fitch Ratings survey. The poll also found that 42% put the geopolitical climate as a high risk to the U.S. credit markets, and oil volatility as the leading macroeconomic concern – even before the current crisis in the Middle East broke out. Nearly two-thirds of respondents expect their firms to increase the use of credit derivatives, with another 16% calling that usage substantial.
