SI309: Bonds Behaving Badly ft. Katy Kaminski

Along with Katy Kaminski, we discuss how the current disruptions in the economy and markets cause a change in investors’ behaviour. We dive deep into the interconnection between inflation, bonds and volatility and we discuss how to build a portfolio that performs well in economic downturns. We also discuss the difference between a crisis versus a correction and the evolution when it comes to "model speed" within the CTA industry, the importance of sticking to the process in times of uncertainty and much more.-----EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCE: Find Out How to Build a Safer & Better Performing Portfolio using this FREE NEW Portfolio Builder Tool-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT’s TRUE ? – most CIO’s read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Katy on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:47 - What has been on our radar recently?02:15 - Have investors internalized the new Divergent economies and policies?05:37 - Are investors mistaking convergence for divergence and vice versa?08:57 - Industry performance update17:19 - Connecting the dots23:35 - Bonds - Why are they Behaving Badly?27:59 - Conditional return distribution - what and why?30:04 - Alternative markets and the 60/40 struggle35:29 - The role of crisis alpha and a discussion on speed42:42 - Thoughts on carry in the CTA industry47:29 - Did the VIX really hit 65?55:34 - Sticking to the processCopyright © 2024 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you...
