NDR Fixed Income Allocation Strategy July 2021 Update

The NDR Fixed Income Allocation Strategy, Positioning Update
BY BRIAN SANBORN

The NDR Fixed Income Allocation Strategy entered the month with increased allocations to U.S. Treasurys and U.S. Investment Grade. U.S. Long-Term Treasurys’ is now significantly above benchmark. The sector’s trend has improved, economic conditions are reversing from favorable levels, and the yield curve has narrowed from recent highs.
