  • The EDHEC-Princeton Retirement Goal-Based Investing Index Series October 2019 Highlights

    Date 29/10/2019

    Goal Price Index Series

    • After a general downwards move that began in November 2018 and lasted until end of August 2019, rates on US Treasury bonds have recently featured alternating periods of downs and ups, resulting from competing forces at work. Markets are uncertain over the outcome of the trade war between US and China and are concerned with the resurgence of diplomatic tension with Iran, but the Federal Reserve is continuing its quantitative easing policy, putting long-term rates under downwards pressure. As a result, US rates of maturities ranging from 1 to 5 year(s) are now lower than the rates on 1-month and 3-month Treasury bills. One interpretation of this yield curve inversion is that the market anticipates that interest rates will further decrease in response to a recession yet to come;
    • The recent erratic moves in interest rates are reflected symmetrically in bond prices in general, and retirement bonds in particular. All Goal Price Indices displayed an increasing trend during the first six months of 2019, in response to the decrease in Treasury yields, but October values are lower than September values, owing to higher interest rates. The pattern of rates in the next few months will tell us whether this is just a temporary break in the decreasing trend or the beginning of a new trend;
    • Lower Goal Price Index values mean that replacement income is less costly to acquire for investors. For instance, an individual planning to retire in 2038 and wanting to secure income for the period from 2038 to 2057 would have to pay $18.9 per dollar of income in October, while the price for the same guarantee was $19.7 in September, a decrease by about 4%;
    • As usual, indices with a shorter horizon are less impacted by interest rate movements than their long-term counterparts. For the individual planning to retire in 2023, the price to pay for $1 of replacement income was $20.7 in September and $20.3 in October, so the decrease was a more modest 1.9%.
