The long term bond prices drop more than the short term ones. Those who invested in say, TLT (ETF for 20+ years Treasury bond) saw a decline of 31% in TLT from the start of the year till now. Basically for this year till todate, whether stock or bonds, their portfolio would have drop in anycase. There is no escape even for mid and long term bonds. like playing snakes & ladders board game ... what goes up must come down … Edited September 28, 2022 by Wt_know ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward, Say if I lock n 10 year us Treasury at 4%pa. I get regular income in the meantime and get principal back at the end of 10 years. Compare with. A REIT paying 5+%pa.... yield not guaranteed, at the end of 10 years no idea what's the market price. So the question is where would put my cash now? Am I happy with additional 1+% return for holding a riskier asset? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the question is where would put my cash now? Am I happy with additional 1+% return for holding a riskier asset? 1% more than risk free treasuries? Probably AAA corporate/govt bonds. But must check the tax on the dividends. I read somewhere dividends from bond funds could be taxed vs holding bonds directly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I happy with additional 1+% return for holding a riskier asset? There are certainly many considerations in the current market. If you lock in a US Treasury for 10 years, will there be forex risk in that 10 years that could erode the principal? And any withholding tax on that 4% yield? But I would subscribe to the same advice like mention by others.....decide their comfortable risk profile and stick with a portfolio allocation that reflects that profile. From my personal experience, jumping in and out of different portfolios/strategies often does not result in good returns. For myself, I just keep things simple as of now by putting some spare money into SSB and T-bills. Edited September 28, 2022 by Starry 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
