#1: LTTs are almost separate asset class from generic "T-bonds". They have a long duration, 20+ years to maturity. I get this data from the VUSTX fund, which tracks a long bond index.
#2: We used leverage to match volatility. This can realistically be done using futures. (and yes, I am claiming a leveraged bond portfolio is less risky than a 100% stock portfolio; the numbers back it!)
- drocer88 6y agoPerhaps you need to compare with 3X bull equity portfolios for a better comparison.
- tick_tock_tick 6y ago60% TQQQ / 40% TMF is the best portfolio.
- tryptophan 6y ago3x bull equity portfolios are not a good comparison, because their volatility is much much much higher. They are strictly worse portfolios, which take on great risk. My point about bonds is that they take __less__ risk and still make more money.
