Taking a Cue From Bernanke a Little Too Far

1 Financial advisers have been fielding calls from
shaken investors in recent weeks, particularly retirees, who are
nervous that a bond market crash is on the horizon.
4 You can hardly blame them. Investors have been

fleeing bonds in droves; a record $ 76.5 billion poured out of

bond funds and exchange-traded funds since June. That
7 exceeds the previous record, according to TrimTabs, when
$ 41.8 billion streamed out of the funds in October 2008, and
the financial crisis was in full force.
10 But the rush for the exits really means one thing:
investors are betting that interest rates are about to begin their
upward trajectory, something that’s been expected for several
13 years now.
Their cue came from the Federal Reserve chairman,
Ben Bernanke, who recently suggested that the economic
16 recovery might allow the central bank to ease its efforts to
stimulate the economy. That includes scaling back its bond-
buying program beginning later this year.
So the big fear is that interest rates are poised to rise
20 much further, driving down bond prices; the two move in
opposite directions.
A Barclays index tracking a broad swath of
23 investment-grade bonds lost 3.77 percent from the beginning
of May through Thursday, according to Morningstar. United
States government notes with maturities of ten years or longer,
26 however, lost an average of 10.8 percent over the same period.
Making a bet on interest rates is no different from
trying to predict the next big drop in stocks, or jumping into
29 the market when it appears to be poised to surge higher. These
sort of emotional moves are exactly why research shows that
investors’ returns tend to trail the broader market.
32 And it’s also why many financial advisers suggest
ignoring the noise, as long as you have a smart assortment of
bond funds that will provide stability when stocks inevitably
35 tumble once again.
“It’s a futile game to base portfolio moves on interest
rate guesses,” said Milo Benningfield, a financial adviser in
38 San Francisco. “We don’t have to look any further than highly
regarded Pimco manager Bill Gross, whose horrible interest

rate bet against Treasuries in 2011, landed him in the bottom 15

41 percent of fund managers in his category that year. Investors
should take a strategic approach designed around the reason
they hold bonds — and then sit tight whenever hedge funds
44 and other institutions shake the ground around them.”
The main reason longer-term investors hold bonds, of
course, is to provide a steadying force. And though today’s
47 lower yields provide less of a cushion — the 10-year Treasury
is yielding about 2.5 percent — bonds still remain the best, if
imperfect, foil to stocks.
50 “The role of bonds in a portfolio has always been to
be a ballast or a diversifier to equity risk,” said Francis
Kinniry, a principal in the Vanguard Investment Strategy
53 Group. “And that is very true today. Yields are low, but this is
what a bear market in bonds looks like.”

#1: QUESTÃO 39 (2013)

Regarding the text, judge if the items below are right (C) or wrong (E)

1 The word “from” in the excerpt “Making a bet on interest rates is no different
from trying to predict the next big drop in stocks, or jumping into the market
when it appears to be poised to surge higher.” (l.27-29) may be replaced by the
word "then" with no interference in the grammar correction of the sentence.

2 In the sentence “Their cue came from the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben
Bernanke, who recently suggested that the economic recovery might allow the
central bank to ease its efforts to stimulate the economy.” (l.14-17) the relative
pronoun “who” may be replaced by "whom" in more formal contexts.

3 In the sentence “That includes scaling back its bond- buying program beginning
later this year.” (l.17-18), the pronoun “its” refers to “economy”, in the previous
sentence.

4 In the sentence “United States government notes with maturities of 10 years or

interfering in the meaning.
