What Core Bond Investors Could Expect in 2022
from Casual Friday: Financial Insights · host Ford Financial Group
Fixed income investors aren’t used to negative total returns for core fixed income (as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) but that's exactly what happened in 2021. Last year, rising interest rates were a headwind to bond prices that more than offset the positive returns from coupon income. As such, the index was down -1.5% for the year, which was only the fourth negative returning calendar year since the index’s 1976 inception—and the first since 2013.
