  • Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
    Maybe the Who isn't right in this case.
  • edited March 2015
    Assets: $140B (no thanks; in MF World, the morbidly obese tend to develop "health problems")
    Interest Rate Sensitivity: Moderate, says M* (with 40% in Treasuries alone, and with ave. effective duration @ 5.5yrs? we'll see)
  • Good grief, what a bogus and madeup article. I know, let's run a piece about fickle moneys fled from Gross/Pimco and whither it went. Who in his or her right mind cares about the largest index tracking the aggregate in bonds? (It lags AGG, slightly, also FTBFX.) Good thing this dude is from Ashtabula and went to Ohio Northern; he's used to things tame.
