SUMMARY:Portfolio Benefits of Fixed Income in a Low Yield Environment: A Quantitative Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Extremely low interest rates have led some investors to consider a reduction in fixed income allocations in response to low prospective returns.  Within fixed income\, other investors are reaching for yield in higher risk segments of the fixed income market.  A misguided focus on static return targets may be behind such reallocation decisions\, leading some to over-allocate to riskier assets.  The presentation will evaluate the strategic allocation decision in total and as it relates to fixed income from three perspectives.  First\, current risk premium estimates will be evaluated to better understand the expected compensation for taking additional portfolio risk.  Second\, diversification benefits of fixed income will be discussed from a historical and forward looking perspective.  Finally\, strategic allocation within an asset-liability framework will be presented in relation to recent market returns.  While individual portfolio circumstances differ\, the analysis will suggest that lowering strategic fixed income allocations in response to lower yields is not optimal.  Tactical viewpoints based on quantitative analysis will also be presented.  The analysis will point to a tactical underweight to duration but also a conservative approach to risk in both equities and fixed income spreads in general.  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Kevin J.
