Bond ladders and barbell portfolios represent two distinct approaches to achieving financial objectives within the realm of fixed income investing. Bond ladders offer a structured, diversified method for generating predictable income and preserving capital over time. By spreading investments across bonds with staggered maturities, investors can continuously capture prevailing interest rates while minimizing interest-rate risk. However, bond ladders require significant upfront capital and ongoing time commitment for research and maintenance.
On the other hand, barbell portfolios provide a more tactical approach, focusing on short-term and longer-term bonds to capitalize on rising interest rates. This strategy allows investors to benefit from short-term bonds' liquidity and the higher yields of longer-term bonds. The choice between bond ladders and barbell portfolios ultimately depends on an investor's specific goals, risk tolerance, and market outlook. The Portfolio Constructor tool allows investor to build both kind of portfolios, performs scenario analysis and computes portfolio metrics.
