John Waggoner: Investors Flood TIPS Funds As Trump Win Stokes Inflation Concerns
FYI: Funds that invest in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities saw a net inflow of $1 billion the week ended Nov. 9, the second-largest since records began in 2002, according to Thomson Reuters Lipper. The record inflow was in April 2015. Regards, Ted http://www.investmentnews.com/article/20161111/FREE/161119987?template=printart
I had thought there would be an article with this? Just a table of funds.
Rumors are going both ways as to whether the Fed will change policy or not. I see that Anthony Scaramucci is on Pres. Trumps financial committee. Hmmmm
I started buying TIPs and Bank Loan bond funds about 4-5 months ago because of inevitable inflation. Added to it this week due to the Trump election. When a candidate goes free-wheeling about tearing up trade agreements and tariffs, sky rocketing inflation is a possibility. Hopefully he was just doing his hard line 'I'll say whatever they want to hear talk' just to get elected. But a steeper up-rend in inflation? First thing that came to my mind on Wednesday morning. Well, ok, one of the first anyway.
