Bonds as a Ballast: A Renewed Case for the 60/40

July 26, 2021
As inflation rears its ugly head, investors are beginning to worry about the outlook for real rates in fixed income portfolios. Yet alternative options, even in the high-risk space, are not plentiful.
In the upcoming webcast,
Bonds as a Ballast: A Renewed Case for the 60/40, Andrew J. Patterson, Senior Economist, Vanguard; and Matthew Sheridan, Investment Consultant, Vanguard, will discuss the range of investment choices available to financial advisors.
For example, Vanguard’s most popular bond ETF play, the 
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF Shares (BND), provides exposure to a wide spectrum of public, investment-grade, taxable, fixed income securities in the United States, including government, corporate, and international dollar-denominated bonds, as well as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, all with maturities of more than 1 year.
