Bond Market Update: Why Bonds Are Back [2023]

In a world where stocks have been the go-to asset class for income and returns, bonds are making a comeback. That's the view of Mary Ellen Stanek, Co-Chief Investment Officer of Baird Advisors and President of the Baird Funds, who says that the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes have made bonds more attractive to investors.
Stanek argues that the rapid rise in interest rates has created opportunities in the fixed-income market, as bond yields have increased to their highest levels in years. This means that investors can now lock in higher yields for their money, which can provide a valuable source of income and diversification in a volatile market.
In this interview, Stanek explains why she is convinced that bonds are back and why investors should consider adding them to their portfolios. She also discusses her investment strategy and how she selects bonds for her clients.

Financial TV loves to host more extreme outlier voices but it's the moderate, middle-of-the-road voices like Ms. Stanek who usually prove to be correct over time.

Longer term bond yields will have to go a lot higher to get buyers interested. It is already happening in the Treasuries' auctions.

[@dagsterblaster4973]

If so, please explain why there is an inverted yield curve?

8% in muni? Where? Seems to me rates are still heading higher thus prices lower.

She is pretending that is what you are making because you aren't being taxed. It is still well short of that unless you are in the highest tax bracket.

Closed end bond funds need to be discussed.

[@chamindasilva3191]

Another good interview. Yes bonds are back, even banks offer better CD rates for 3 to 7 months. I don't know how an individual investor can invest in tax free municipal bonds. If anybody familiar with the process please let us know. Thanks for the interview.

Bond fund managers will always push bonds but stocks always outperform over the long term.

[@ricomajestic]

Depends on the stock. You have to consider the fluctuations and risk too!
