Investors have spent the past 18 months watching as the U.S. central bank hiked interest rates from a pandemic low of between 0.25% and 0.50%, all the way up to 5.5%.<\/p>\n

Now, with just one Federal Reserve policy meeting left in the year, the best strategy might be a proactive one: trying to get ahead of what the central bank does in 2024, according to Karen Harding, team leader for the private wealth practice group at Boston-based NEPC.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s important for investors to keep in mind is that we\u2019re probably at the peak of the tightening cycle,\u201d Harding says.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

The past two years have been a bloodbath for bonds, as markets reacted to higher rates, and to policymakers\u2019 insistence that rates may remain higher for longer than many investors expect. \u201cWhen you\u2019re in a rate-cutting cycle, bond prices go up,\u201d Harding says. \u201cSo, just as bond investors have seen losses in their portfolios, they will get gains now.\u201d<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

Financial advisors to wealthy clients should have, or be able to tap, expertise on the kind of credit research needed to pick individual bonds for a portfolio or a ladder, Harding says. \u201cIt really does benefit most investors to have a professional invest for them.\u201d Those who don\u2019t have quite as much to invest still might be able to get similar exposure from an exchange-traded fund or mutual fund.<\/p>\n

Still, there\u2019s good reason for investors, especially squeamish ones, to simply sit on the sidelines for a bit. \u201cYou can get more on a cash yield [basis] than you can holding a fixed income instrument because the yield curve is still inverted,\u201d Harding says. That is, shorter-term rates are higher than longer ones. That\u2019s traditionally been a sign that investors are expecting an economic downturn relatively soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
