Redefining "Core Bonds"
- Investment-Grade Aggregate Bonds are still fighting to find their footing in the recovery process. They're hitting a wall that's stopping them from bouncing back completely. This obstacle is dragging out their slump, setting records with each passing day, now at 1,280 days.
- For years, these bonds have been a staple in the "core bond" portfolios of investors, but if they keep dropping the ball on their role as a reliable source of income, it might be time to rethink our strategy.
- Our unwavering commitment centers on risk management and the pursuit of innovative solutions, even those that challenge conventional wisdom, with the aim of steering our clients toward success.
