Rising Rates: Strategies for Managing Bond Risks
- March 5, 2021
Federal Reserve monetary policies can affect the entire fixed-income market, and the prospect of rising interest rates is a major concern for bond investors. Regardless of the rate environment, however, bonds are a mainstay of investors who want to generate income or dampen the effects of stock market volatility on their portfolios. Now that the Fed is raising rates toward more typical historical levels, how will higher rates affect your fixed-income investments and what can you do to help mitigate the effect on your portfolio?
A bond fund's sensitivity to interest rates is only one aspect of its value — fund performance can be driven by a variety of dynamics in the market and the broader economy.
