About this episode
Tony Crescenzi discusses the bond market and its implications for investment portfolios.
Colin and Greg brought in one of the sharpest minds in fixed income to answer that question. Tony Crescenzi from PIMCO discusses the bond market like a supermarket with 150 trillion dollars worth of aisles, and explains why knowing which shelf to shop from could matter as much as anything else in your portfolio. In this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, they get into inflation thresholds, starting yields, global diversification and why active management tends to win in bonds in ways it often doesn't in stocks.
