A key tool in both endeavors is a hurdlerate a rate of return that you determine as your required return for business and investment decisions. It deepens the acquaintance because you encounter hurdlerates in almost every aspect of finance, and it ruins it, by making these hurdlerates all about equations and models.
I was reminded of that paper a few weeks ago, when Fitch downgraded the US, from AAA to AA+, a relatively minor shift, but one with significant psychological consequences for investors in the largest economy in the world, whose currency still dominates global transactions. and the reverse will occur, when risk-free rates drop.
In this post, I will take a look at these other markets, starting with a way of dividing investments into assets, commodities, currencies and collectibles that I find useful in thinking about what I can (and cannot) do in those markets, and then reviewing how these markets performed during 2020. Currencies : A currency serves three functions.
Thus, if a 10-year corporate bond has a yield of 3.00% and a 10-year government bond, in the same currency and with no default risk, has a yield of 1.00%, the difference is termed the default spread and becomes a measure of the price of risk in the bond market.

S&P, Moody's and Fitch, in addition to rating companies for default risk, also rate governments, and they rate them both on local currency debt, as well as foreign currency debt. I know that the currency choice is the source of angst for many analysts, and I think unnecessarily so. I have my reasons.
So you’ve got, you’ve got a modeling hurdlerate that you need to figure out when you’re adding diversifiers. And instead of replacing a house, you’re replacing exposure like the s and p 500 or treasuries, where historically it’s been really hard to beat the market. The second is behavioral.
You, you mentioned the fed raising rates. What do you see in, in treasuries and the fixed income half of the portfolio? 00:46:01 [Speaker Changed] Well, I mean obviously that’s not my call as the equity strategist at BFA, but when you look at the, the 10 year yield, the view is a, a secularize in interest rates.
