Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

I mean, there are various ways you can hedge for that.

Making Money

And commodities are one way to do that.

Making Money

You can get commodity exposure, which limits the damage to your portfolio.

Making Money

So that's another way to do this, is to hedge via commodities.

Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

Not in the core, no.

Making Money

But I've been experimenting with that, yeah.

Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Making Money

I mean, we're in there now.

Making Money

I mean, that's why I think this yield curve tool is cool, because you can see that it's a living thing.

Making Money

It changes day to day.

Making Money

And if there's a bond sell-off, then yields get higher, right?

Making Money

And then suddenly, all of those bonds are above the dashed line on my graph for what you earn with a money market fund.

Making Money

So at that point, you're better off switching into gilts.

Making Money

So we're kind of there now.

Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

And I am tempted to switch.

Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

I think it could get even higher on the yields.

Making Money

For example, if there's a political change in the UK, but let's say there was a change in government, well, eventually there's going to be a change and the government is much more spendy.

In other words, they say, oh, you know, this debt to GDP thing, that was just made up anyway, you know, we're just going to carry on to 120%, 150%, it'll be fine.

Making Money
Why I'm No Longer 100% Stocks – Pensioncraft's Ramin Nakisa

Well, if that happens, well, the yields then would, you know, they'd go up a lot.

Making Money

So that could be another point at which to get more exposure.
