Investors encouraged to increase bond holdings for stability

Investors may want to consider buying more bonds, according to financial experts. Alex Morris, CEO of F/m Investments, said on CNBC that bonds can provide a safe haven amid stock market volatility. He stressed the importance of focusing on short-term bonds, especially following recent market downturns. Morris spoke during the Future Proof conference in Miami. There, financial advisors and wealth managers exchanged ideas, including discussions on using artificial intelligence in finance. He believes the current economic conditions make bonds a wise choice, particularly if government policies remain unchanged. Jeffrey Katz, managing director at TCW, agreed with Morris. He noted that bonds are fulfilling their role well in a balanced investment portfolio. Katz's firm manages the TCW Flexible Income ETF, which holds U.S. Treasury notes with yields over 4%. Overall, both experts suggest an increased interest in bonds could help investors navigate future market challenges.
