We recently made an update to the allocation of our Legacy Navigator portfolio, swapping its 10% allocation to 7-10 Year US Treasuries (IEF) for Investment Grade Corporate Bonds (LQD). With US interest rates approaching zero and the Fed explicitly supporting the investment grade corporate bond market as a result of the coronavirus shock, we feel the risk/reward trade off of fixed income has tilted decisively in favor or exposures like LQD.
As always, we will continue to monitor market developments and use signals from the VIX marketplace to guide our portfolio exposures. Please contact us with any questions.
