EP 23: Carl Kaufman of Osterweis Funds – Why Income, Why Now

For the twelve years following The Great Financial Crisis, money market yields had remained close to 0%, and bond yields were consequently repressed.  However, today the entire bond spectrum appears to exhibit different characteristics than when the Fed Funds Rate was 0%.  Instead of low inflation, we have inflation higher for longer.  We currently have an inverted yield curve, where short-term bonds offer higher yields than longer dated bonds.  Further, we have whole segments of the bond market that are offering yields in the 7%+ range.   

To help uncover all that needs to be known on this subject right now, I interview Carl Kaufman of Osterweis funds.  Carl is the most experienced bond manager that I know of when it comes to all things income.  Many of you might have listened to him before on this podcast, but those that haven’t, you are in for a treat. 

If you like to earn income from your bonds, this might be something you want to listen to.  So, pod up and tune in to Carl Kaufman of Osterweis funds.
