Given the historically low interest rate environment ushered in by the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy response to the 2020 COVID-induced recession, investors are now looking at flat to negative real returns from an asset class that has been a backbone of portfolios for decades.
Come listen to asset allocators discuss how they’re trying to solve this problem of low expected returns from bonds. There are many questions that arise when weighing whether or not to decrease your bond allocation, such as:
  • What asset classes do you move these proceeds into?
  • How does these changes affect portfolio risk?
  • How do you discuss these moves with your clients?

Join us to hear answers to these questions, and more!

Learning Objectives:
  1. Strategies for strategic asset allocation decisions in low bond yield environment
  2. Benefits of bonds in a portfolio – what role can bonds still play?
  3. How to discuss risk and return with clients of potential asset allocation changes
