Pimco: A Delicate Balance: Evaluating Tradeoffs In Today’s Fixed Income Portfolios
FYI: For many financial advisors, 2017 proved to be another generally positive, yet confounding, year. Despite relatively full valuations and modest starting yields, global equity markets provided double-digit returns, intermediate and longer-term Treasury rates trended lower throughout the year, and the VIX hit its lowest level since its inception in January 1993. Though 2018 started down a similar path, a sharp reversal of all three trends in early February reminded investors how quickly conditions can change.
