Falling Rates Expose Duration Risk In Bond Funds: (PEDPX) - (VEDIX)

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Falling interest rates across the global fixed-income market have proven to be a boon for certain bond funds that are pushing the limits on interest-rate risk.

For example, by delivering promised longer-duration exposure, both the Pimco Extended Duration Fund (PEDPX) and the Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury Index Fund (VEDIX) are up more than 32% this year.
