UK Bond Market Meltdown - Bank of England Intervenes

This live stream is in response to today's announcement by the Bank Of England (BoE). This is a critical announcement as it is an attempt to stop contagion triggered by the severe fall in UK government bonds. In this live stream, I will discuss the problems that we face, what the Bank is doing and why.

[@baconbits9]

I have a hard time faulting the current government for not following the standards set by previous governments which are vastly more important to the volatility that we just saw. Managing expectations and convincing everyone that budgets are responsible when they are not is not somehow more righteous, and the current issues with the UK, Japan, China, the EU and the US can be traced to decades of making irresponsible budgets sound responsible. This is not a crisis of a single bad budget but a crisis of the fact that things must now change and so some people are going to get hurt, and badly.

So these pension funds are basically run like a leveraged investment. The market has turned against them far more than they expected and so they have to sell to meet the margin call.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there.

Gilts were purchased between 2008-2022 way above par, when interest rates finally went up then bond values declined. It’s simple to work out. Fund managers purchased bonds as there was nothing to purchase that had any return.

[@missxsbalanced]

Yes I agree. I don't understand this at all, no matter how eloquent and well presented this video. I do notice that my pension fund increased today and that GBP increased against USD, EUR,AUD.

[@lorristan]

I do remember last October there were warnings from financial experts from a variety of institutions about accelerating inflation and that the BOE and the FED were starting to get behind the curve. Additionally the forward thinking was this inflation was serious and unlikely to be transitional. If the right amount of interest rate hikes were not put in place then further down the road then emergency rate hikes would be the likely outcome. Then the BOE and FED will start to lose credibility.

Honestly, the mini budget and the new PM are symptoms, not a cause of the current situation. This was a LONG time coming, and as Mike Burry M.D said about the GFC that *everybody* shares a part of the blame. People were far too eager and happy to have the cheap loans and mortgages, swanning around in cars and houses that they can't afford, while savers and pensioners suffered. Too many civil servants and private workers were laughing while furloughed, drinking in their garden and getting loans to revamp perfectly good houses because they were such boring individuals that's all they could think to do with the furlough money Well now its time to deal with the chickens as they come home to roost, and i'm actually quite enjoying watching everyone panic.

Thanks for the excellent explanation. It looks like due to the counterparty risk, the BoE intervention not only bailed out the pension companies, it also bailed out the investment banks.

So when markets price in the consequences of a unfinanced budget amidst a serious economic and geopolitical crisis, they're accused of malfunctioning ? And what about those pension funds that were pushed to take too much risk precisely because of low interest rates for so many years ? I feel like what's happening now would have happened sooner or later with out of control public spending and rampant inflation.

[@adamburton5184]

Even though I'm sure you just explained this (and I may have listened), this sounds nearly risk free from a bank or investment banks perspective. If it goes smoothly it goes smoothly and they pay for pensions appropriately (making the fees on the way) but as soon as a problem arises you know you can just immediately sell it off, purchase shit elsewhere and the BoE will intervene on the UK's behalf. This increase in gilt spending by banks as a way of paying for pensions sounds a lot like another poor decision from both banks and the UK gov (who should know this could happen). The global markets currently have the UK by the balls and are hoping for our prolonged collapse into a second rate economy but then our government aren't exactly doing much to stop it.

[@magictom8]

Yep. If a central bank exists it should only be to maintain balances, they shouldn't even have some arbitrary inflation target. Allowing them to buy bonds etc. means there's a risk they are either compensating private sector gambling losses, or stealing off the taxpayer to pay for government credibility losses, or both.

Please explain how the liabilities of the defined benefit pension fall as the value of the assets fall.

[@fpptax7554]

This seems to contradict the very idea of a defined benefit in that the risk of shortfall is on the employer. The value of the bond portfolio decreases as yields rise but if the business has to pay a fixed annuity to the employee for so many years how is the risk of them paying out not affected?

[@Pensioncraft]

Hi @FPP TAX when you work out the present value you discount future cash flows. The idea is that by matching the duration of your assets and liabilities when interest rates rise you discount the liabilities and the assets by the same amount. You can enter into an interest rate swap that ensures your asses an liability durations match _very_ closely. This duration matching in turn is imposed on pension funds via regulation so they have no choice but to do this. Thanks, Ramin.

Awfully reminiscent of early 2008 when folks were saying subprime mortgages were a small sector of the credit market and the recession would be short and shallow.

We need to inform europe that to fix the root cause we have to stop the Ukr/Russia war and remove sanctions on the Russians. That is not inconsistent with the global disaster and democracy.
