Historical Asset Class Correlations: Which Have Been the Best Portfolio Diversifiers?
When talking about constructing an investment portfolio, you’ll often hear about diversification and buying low-correlation or non-correlated assets. A positive correlation means that the assets tended to move in the same direction. A value of 1 is perfect positive correlation. A negative correlation means that they tended to move in opposite directions. A value of -1 is perfect negative correlation. A zero correlation means that they had no relationship. Morningstar recently released its 2021 Diversification Landscape Report (free download with e-mail) which includes a lot of great information about the correlations between key asset classes from 2001-2020, including the March 2020 COVID-related market crash. I try not to look too finely at historical numbers, but noticing the overall historical trends can be helpful. The lower the correlation … [Read More...]

Are You Unknowingly a Time Billionaire?
The 2021 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting is streaming live on Yahoo Finance this weekend, and I am reminded of a lesser known quote from Warren Buffett about what is truly valuable. I believe he has said this elsewhere, but I found it repeated in a 2020 commencement speech (YouTube link) at the University of Nebraska: There is nobody I would rather be than a young person graduating from the University of Nebraska today. […] I would say this to the current year’s class: ‘I would love to trade places with any of them.’ They feel they’re going out into an uncertain world and all of that, but there’s never been a better time. During a Tim Ferriss podcast, investor Graham Duncan discussed the concept of a &#… [Read More...]

Savings I Bonds May 2021 Interest Rate: 3.54% Inflation Rate
Savings I Bonds are a unique, low-risk investment backed by the US Treasury that pay out a variable interest rate linked to inflation. With a holding period from 12 months to 30 years, you could own them as an alternative to bank certificates of deposit (they are liquid after 12 months) or bonds in your portfolio. New inflation numbers were just announced at BLS.gov, which allows us to make an early prediction of the May 2021 savings bond rates a couple of weeks before the official announcement on the 1st. This also allows the opportunity to know exactly what a April 2021 savings bond purchase will yield over the next 12 months, instead of just 6 months. You can then compare this against a May 2021 purchase. New inflation rate prediction. September 2020 CPI… [Read More...]
