The Reinvestment Risk of Cash
November 2023 | While cash interest rates may be relatively high today, those elevated levels may not last very long. For investors whose objectives can be measured in months or years rather than days, we believe today’s historically elevated interest rates may call for allocating at a point on the yield curve that controls for volatility risk without ignoring reinvestment risk.
01 | With cash rates elevated, why own longer-maturity fixed income securities that may offer a lower yield and higher volatility?
02 | Against the interest rate risk inherent in most fixed income securities, investors should consider the reinvestment risk inherent in cash.
03 | Moving into longer-maturity fixed income securities may help investors lock in today’s attractive income levels before they disappear.

Fed to Commence Its Easing Cycle
The US Federal Reserve will begin its easing cycle this month, capping a remarkable period of restrictive monetary policy that has not been experienced since the early 1980s. The tighter policy stance has helped cool inflation and moderate economic activity. Now, the Fed hopes to ease off the policy brake in a way that preserves continued disinflationary progress towards its long-term 2% inflation target while also supporting their second mandate of "maximum employment". In this note, we highlight the uniqueness of this monetary policy cycle, how financial markets are anticipating significantly more policy easing than seen in recent easing cycles, and the financial market implications.

Passive to Active: Words of Wisdom from Ted Lasso
Passive strategies have generally have fared well over the past decade, which has made it easy to forget the long periods during which active managers outpaced passive approaches. The reasons we believe market concentration will decline include (1) a shrinking earnings advantage for the top ten companies, and (2) seemingly unsustainably high valuations. We believe investors may benefit from investing with active managers that thoughtfully select their exposure based on the earnings and valuation profile of each stock.
