Gross is right to dump T-bonds... From the end of WW2 to the present day the U.S. Treasury was the safest security possible. In my mind that era ended with QE. Treasuries will remain the worlds most liquid asset but will not provide the safety of a globally diversified portfolio of equities and corporate bonds which provide income streams in several different currencies. Good luck staying ahead of the curve! My puny but fantastic savings bank offers the pimco total return fund in our 401k plan… minimum investment 1% of pay deducted by weekly.

He stated that much of the cash was in fixed income futures. When PIMCO decreased its holdings recently was it the actual fixed income or did they just not roll over the future contracts? Curious. Anyone know? @CHris_Gaun chrisgaun@gmail.com Gross was on Bloomberg radio a couple of months ago and was asked about PIMCO’s cash holdings.

Curious. Anyone know?
