Consider the Source: Fixed-Income Alternatives

Over the past three to four decades, we have been experiencing a declining interest rate environment. Due to the inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices, this has caused bonds to be worth a little more each day, making bonds a source of stability in portfolios in a rising interest rate environment. However, this all goes out the window once interest rates begin to rise.

So, what can investors do as we prepare to cycle into a rising interest rate environment? In the first episode of his new “Consider the Source” video series, Omnia Family Wealth Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Michael Wagner offers some investment options for your portfolio that, regardless of interest rates and volatility, can act as a source of stability.

Two specific examples Wagner mentions that can protect portfolios in a rising interest rate environment include:

  • A sleeve of high quality, low beta hedge funds
  • Senior-secured loans to performing real estate that pay a floating rate

During the video, Wagner emphasizes the importance of having a stable source, other than bonds, of income in your portfolio. Investors are entering into a rising rate environment and investors need to get creative about the players in their portfolio and the roles they are playing.
