Government Bonds vs Stocks — the mechanics
Stocks can compound in real terms for decades. Government bonds can stabilise a portfolio and fund a known liability. Using one as if it were the other is how people get surprised.
Contract versus residual. Known coupons versus unknown dividends and buybacks. Lower expected long-run return for government bonds, lower path volatility in most (not all) regimes.
60/40 portfolios use the bond sleeve to dampen equity. Inflation shocks can break that dampener. 2022 is the teaching year.
Replacing all equities with 30-year bonds because you are ‘scared’ just concentrates duration. Fear is not a duration budget.
Official sources (International guides)
Primary statistics and prospectuses for International guides are published by the issuer, not by this newsroom. The labelled links at the end of this page go to those official sites (DMO, TreasuryDirect, Finanzagentur, MEF, AFT, SNB or ECB as relevant).
Our live board is a teaching overlay: dated prints, named sources, estimated ISIN lines. It is not a replacement for the issuer’s calendar.
