Remember When Rates Went From 0% to 5%?

This is a friendly reminder that the same will likely be true when rates go from 5% down to ??%.  While many of us look back on the past and say to ourselves, “I wish I would have done way less in the bond portfolio”.  Why?  Because everything is underwater and extended when we need liquidity the most.

The same could be true when we reach the other end of the cycle and we all look back and say to ourselves, “I wish I would have done more in my bond portfolio”.  Why?  Because loans will be repricing lower, some loans may default, and we have liquidity coming out of our ears.  

It’s time to be a Sunday Morning QB, not a Monday Morning QB and be proactive in your bond portfolio.  If you have been through a cycle before, you know exactly what we are talking about.  We don’t know how bad or long it will be, but we have a general idea what we need to do.

While we have a number of ideas that work well in this situation, today we are going to focus on the 7/1 Agency ARM. 

It is pretty simple, with this ARM you are going to capture a 5.36% coupon at a slight premium generating a ~4.90% yield during the fixed term.  After the fixed term you will own a 6-month asset that adjusts to SOFR +231 BPS.  You get a great combination here of locking out your yield during the potential down cycle and experiencing little to no price risk in the future.  

Please see the details below and reach out to us here at Country Club if you have any questions or care to discuss some of our other favorite opportunities.

Thank you very much for your time!
