Concerned about the potential adverse impact of rising interest rates and that fund's increasingly higher portfolio average maturity, I diversified my fixed income holdings into other funds having an average maturity of about 3-4 years. While the alternative funds reacted less severely to the current interest rate rise, their portfolios seem to contain more lower rate securities. Of course this means there's a need to be on the lookout for recession. It surprised me that Vanguard would allow the average maturity it its GNMA fund to be over 6 years. You still have the government guarantee with GNMA if that's a consolation.

Perhaps later this year, further opportunities to shorten the average maturity of fixed income investments will arise as the current adverse interest rate rise corrects.

While it's still interesting to hear the free views that Brinker is willing to share over the radio, I can't see him providing them in a timely way except through coincidence.
