Thanks for stressing ETFs over indiv bonds, investors often don´t realize that the risk is not just varying returns, but rather their entire capital.

My face was a picture when it was boldly stated that TESLA is a junk bond! Whaaat?! :)

@Pensioncraft 3 года назад

Hi @Sukerkin I know it's surprising given their equity performance. But they are sailing pretty close to the wind with lots of debt and profit that, for a while at least, didn't look like it could sustainably match their debt servicing costs. Now they're profitable I guess their credit rating may improve. Thanks, Ramin.

@johnathonlivingston7573 3 года назад

Does the same analysis hold true for high yield municipal bonds?

@GrayGhosting 3 года назад

Well done. Question: do those graphs of junk bond total returns include the defaults in the cacluation?

@Pensioncraft 3 года назад

Hi @GrayGhosting yes the returns incorporate losses due to default because some of the bonds in the fund default over time and these reduce the capital of the fund. So what you see is the total return with income reinvested and adjusted for inflation i.e. a total real return. Thanks, Ramin.

I need to decide on a global bond fund. Which are considered the best? Or, would just a good quality government bond fund suffice?

@bigbrotherzou2236 2 года назад

Thank you for the great video. What are your thoughts on the current high yield etf?

@NOYOURNOTHARDC0RE 3 года назад

Crystal clear as always. So high yield bonds are closely correlated with equities, especially in crisis. What is then the case for adding them to the crisis basket? Having an asset with a less volatile price than equities right?

@daveharruk 3 года назад

I agree, this was a good explanation but I too am still not sure about any type of bonds for the same reasons as you've given. Gold too can stay depressed for many years, so seems like a poor choice. Seems like you're just as well investing in good quality companies which will tend to fall less than the market as a whole in a crash

@hayesfj1 3 года назад

Thank you, Ramin. Another great video. When I saw the title I thought, "High Yield doesn't seem like a good idea right now". Glad to see you tee it up for the next crisis.

@Duke-225 3 года назад

I'd love to see a similar analysis of Senior Variable Rate Debt ETF's (such as BKLN).

@Pensioncraft 3 года назад

Floaters. Interesting... seems a bit niche though, but a nice example of how you can slice and dice risks in fixed income (almost no interest rate risk, pure credit risk). Thanks for the suggestion Mark. Ramin.

would you say BSV and SHY can replace cash bank accounts??? thanks

@Asstronauts93 Год назад

Right now it makes more sense to buy an ETF like Schp or Vtip?

@adrianfell4161 3 года назад

I've been looking at Inflation-linked Gilts. I came across this statement which makes no sense to me and seems to completely contradict what ILGs are for, what they do and how the work! Am I misunderstanding or is this comment incorrect? "“If inflation in the UK rises, the income from the ILG will increase, but it is totally secondary to the fact that if interest rates rise at the same time, a 1 per cent rise in rates could result in a 23 per cent fall in the capital value of the bonds. You would get a 1 per cent higher yield, but you probably wouldn’t feel very happy about that,” says Rory McPherson, chief investment strategist at Psigma Investment Management." I thought that interest rate rises were bad (in the way described above) for regular bonds but precisely the opposite for ILGs which is the whole point of them?

@PH-dm8ew Год назад

so i am getting around 3.89% from short term treasuries with about 36% of my funds. If i want to move some of that back into stocks what is a good criteria to determine when i should move it? Any ideas?

@Pensioncraft Год назад

Hi @Paul H long-term equity on average outperforms bonds by around 4% per year. That means that if you're putting money aside for a long period of time then the default investment would be equity. Valuation certainly matters i.e. you get better returns if you invest when equity is cheap and at the moment (October 3rd 2022) US equity is roughly at fair value if you look at forward P/E. Some people compare earnings yield (earnings over price) compared with Treasury yields to see the relative attractiveness of equity and government bonds i.e. if you can earn 4% risk-free with government bonds then if your guess is that equity is giving much less than that (compared with equity total return = capital gain + dividend income) it is relatively unattractive. Timing is generally difficult though so it's best to use simple investment strategies that don't assume you can time entry into equity markets. Thanks, Ramin.

@brencostigan 3 года назад

I would love to see this same analysis applied to long dated US Government bonds and UK Gilts

@Pensioncraft 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing your views

@Applepie409 3 года назад

U.K. gilts please and how you buy. I am a novice and do not know how to purchase U.K. gilts. Are these the same as government bonds, just paying a rediculously low interest rate at the moment.

@Pensioncraft 3 года назад

Hi @@Applepie409 UK Government Bonds are called gilts as you say. There are lots of gilt funds that you can buy e.g. here's a list from JustETF www.justetf.com/uk/find-etf.html?assetClass=class-bonds&groupField=none&country=GB&bondType=Government&sortField=ter&sortOrder=asc The shorter the duration the lower the price fluctuations and the more cash-like the bond fund becomes (lower return, lower risk). Very long duration gilt funds are almost as volatile as equity markets. My bond course explains all of this and talks through some example funds to help you understand what you're buying. There's a link to the "Everything You Need To Know About Bond Funds" in the description of this video. Thanks, Ramin.

@GavinLawrence747 3 года назад

quick question - do the Ratings Agencies have access to privileged information about the companies they rate, or do they only have the same information that is available to the general public?

@addukaddu1 3 года назад

Rating agencies are engaged by the companies that want to get their debt rated. As part of that engagement, the agencies get a whole lot of due diligence including financial models, information about the debt stack, projections etc. This diligence is then assessed by the agencies against their "ratings criteria". This information is definitely not in the public domain. In fact the agencies rate debt of companies who don't have listed equity as well - very little information about such companies is in the public domain. Whilst the agencies definitely have more information, they may not always get it right. For example during the 2008 credit crunch, a whole lot of defaulted debt was highly rated

Hi Ramin. Nice video as always. Could you maybe do in the future also video about the differences between investing in bond basket etfs, which in my view don't have a fixed runtime themselfs, and single bonds with fixed maturity dates. What does investing in ether one of them mean to coupon, valuation, return of time, ...?

@Pensioncraft 3 года назад

Noted and thank you for taking the time to comment

@addukaddu1 3 года назад

Excellent video, Ramin. Please could you make a video on the factors that younger investors should be mindful of as opposed to older investors - e.g. should a younger investor looking to get on to the property ladder or to upgrade their home or move into a larger home or pay for private school fees etc. allocate in equity only or in something like a golden butterfly or in a 2 fund portfolio

@stevo728822 3 года назад

Another way to look at corp bonds is how companies raise capital for projects. Either by issung shares, issuing bonds or receiving a government subsidy. Issuing bonds reduces the number of new shares issued. Issuing shares reduces the number of new bonds. Government subsidies reduce issuance of shares and bonds.

@stevebrophy6691 Год назад

Enjoy your work, my friend. Very educational. But I must differ with you in that those bond funds that you recommend have many many names in them, many of who you would not want to own. Sometimes they even hold cash! Then add in the load that you must pay and for me, single high yields are the better choice. As for default, GM, Dish, and QVC are just a few names that as I write have nice yields. Though not graded as high as MSFT and JNJ, I don't think those companies are going anywhere and defaults are unlikely. Thanks

@twig3288 8 месяцев назад

the coupons don’t even keep up with inflation so you can’t really look at it as income, it’s just trying to mitigate some of the erosion of your capital 😢
