PROTECTING YOUR PORTFOLIO IN A WORLD OF RISING INTEREST RATES

Panel

FolioBeyond believes interest rates are going higher, and that many of the strategies investors are using may not perform as expected. We believe it is possible to protect against high rates, or even to profit from a bear market, without the drag of negative current income. Paying out option premiums, and covering the cost of holding short positions can significantly erode your returns—even if you make the right macro call.

In this discussion, we take a long-term view of prior interest rates bear markets, and explain why it really “isn’t different this time.” It’s been a long time since rates have been at historic norms, and with inflation seemingly gaining traction, it’s highly likely rates will follow.

We will discuss why we believe our strategy can work for investors, hedgers and traders.
