From one of the financial newsletters I received this morning -
“But an area that I'm struggling to understand is bonds. Because, quite frankly, when you think about what the investors in our funds want, they generally want us to make them money over a reasonable timeframe, beat inflation, and cover the cost of advice. And if I look at the poultry returns that are being offered from government bond markets, they don't cover inflation and they don't cover the cost of advice. And if you hold them to redemption, they're going to lose your money.”
