Worried About Volatility? Go Global (Bonds)

Investors worried about interest-rate volatility should think hard about their commitment to the US bond market. And not just because US rates are poised to rise. Over the past quarter century, US fixed income has been more volatile than the hedged global bond market, often significantly so. But that’s not all: even US bonds’ volatility has been more volatile. Meanwhile, hedged global bonds have preserved more capital during down periods.
