Pacific Investment Management Co., which manages the world’s biggest active bond fund, says traders are underestimating the potential for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates following Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.HT: Across the Curve
The bond firm also says it’s a good time to buy Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. It has been recommending TIPS throughout 2016. The securities returned 6.6 percent in the first half, versus 5.7 percent for the broader market, based on Bank of America Corp. data. Financial markets don’t expect a rate increase until the end of 2018, according to a Pimco report Thursday on the company website.
“That to us seems implausible and we think it worth positioning for a faster pace of tightening,” Andrew Balls, the London-based chief investment officer for global fixed income, wrote in the report. “U.S. TIPS are attractively priced and offer valuable protection against the possibility of higher U.S. inflation over the coming years.”
Treasury 10-year note yields fell two basis points to 1.45 percent as of 6:50 a.m. in London, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The price of the 1.625 percent security due in May 2026 rose 6/32, or $1.88 per $1,000 face value, to 101 19/32. Japan’s 10-, two- and five-year yields as well as Taiwan’s 10-year yields slid to record lows.
Abandoning Bets
The Pimco Total Return Fund, the biggest actively managed bond fund with $86.1 billion in assets, has returned 4.3 percent over the past year, lagging behind about 60 percent of its peers, based on data compiled by Bloomberg.
