BlackRock apuesta por bonos ligados a la inflación ante el aumento de la prima de riesgo y dudas sobre la sostenibilidad fiscal en EE. UU.

BlackRock sobrepondera bonos ligados a la inflación ante riesgo fiscal en EE. UU.

Global investment giant BlackRock has announced being &#8220;overweight&#8221; on inflation-linked bonds, signaling a strategic shift to mitigate risks stemming from &#8220;persistent inflation pressure&#8221; and growing concerns over the sustainability of U.S. government finances.
What Happened: This move comes as the firm navigates a complex economic landscape characterized by transformative &#8220;mega forces&#8221; and a challenging outlook for long-term asset allocation.
A key driver for BlackRock&#8217;s pivot to inflation-linked bonds is the mounting pressure on U.S. fiscal sustainability.
The firm specifically cited <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns">Moody&#8217;s recent downgrade</a> of the U.S. government&#8217;s top-notch credit rating, which reinforced BlackRock&#8217;s long-standing concerns about persistent U.S. budget deficits, particularly as rising interest rates escalate debt servicing costs.
The note also highlights how the U.S. debt sustainability relies on large and steady funding by foreign investors.
&#8220;The downgrade reinforces the U.S. fiscal sustainability challenge that we&#8217;ve long flagged, especially persistent U.S. budget deficits at a time when higher interest rates are boosting debt servicing costs. If these dynamics dent the confidence of foreign bond holders, rising term premium could push up bond yields and debt servicing costs even more,&#8221; explained BlacRock in its note.
Consequently, BlackRock&#8217;s strategic starting point now incorporates an expectation of rising term premiums for U.S. Treasuries and persistent inflation.
&#8220;That's why our starting point also includes our expectation of rising term premium for U.S. Treasuries and persistent inflation pressure. We go overweight inflation-linked bonds and neutral global investment grade credit given wider spreads,&#8221; the note stated.
These securities are designed to protect investors from inflation by adjusting their principal value based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), ensuring that the real value of the investment is preserved.

&#8220;Economic transformation makes long-term portfolio construction more challenging,&#8221; BlackRock concluded, emphasizing its new approach of utilizing a starting point scenario for strategic views while formally tracking other potential outcomes to ensure portfolio agility.
While U.S. assets remain central to their portfolios, the move into inflation-linked bonds underscores a proactive stance against emerging fiscal and inflationary headwinds.

BlackRock Bets On Inflation, Goes 'Overweight Inflation-Linked Bonds' Amid US 'Fiscal Sustainability Challenge:' Here's A List Of ETFs Investors Can Consider

When inflation moves higher, fixed income investors often turn to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, a corner of the bond market easily accessible via exchange traded funds.
TIPS, which are viewed as a low-risk investment, are indexed to inflation. The par value of TIPS rises with increases in the Consumer Price Index. Interest rates on TIPS are fixed and yields on these bonds and the related ETFs are usually low relative to other fixed income assets.
Recent data from the Commerce Department indicates U.S. consumer prices are inching higher, meaning it could be time for investors to consider ETFs such as the PIMCO 1-5 Year U.S. TIPS Index Exchange-Traded Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/stpz#NYSE">STPZ</a>). STPZ, which is over eight years old, follows the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index.
<h3>
	Low Duration</h3>
STPZ has a duration of just over three years and the effective maturity of the ETF&#39;s 12 holdings is just 2.94 years.
&ldquo;The short maturity-focused mandate gives the portfolio a duration of 3.1 years (as of November 2017), which mitigates interest rate risk and provides a strong hedge against immediate inflation,&rdquo; said Morningstar <a href="http:// http://beta.morningstar.com/articles/841712/fight-inflation-with-this-low-cost-etf.html">in a recent note</a>. &ldquo;Gains and losses from price volatility are muted thanks to the strategy&#39;s short duration. As a result, this fund more closely tracks the realized inflation fluctuations over the short run than its longer duration counterparts do.&rdquo;
The $1-billion STPZ has a 30-day SEC yield of 1.64 percent. The Federal Reserve&#39;s gauge of inflation rose 0.2 percent in November and <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-22/u-s-consumer-spending-tops-forecasts-as-inflation-accelerates">1.8 percent year-over-year</a>. The Fed is targeting inflation of 2 percent, a mark that has been missed for several years.
<h3>
	How STPZ Benefits</h3>
Obviously, rising inflation benefits a fund such as STPZ, but investors need to understand how those benefits are realized.
&ldquo;Break-even inflation is the rate that would equate the real return from regular U.S. Treasuries and TIPS with the same maturity,&rdquo; according to Morningstar. At the end of November 2017, the break-even inflation rate was 1.8 percent, which was 0.2 percent lower than the 10-year rolling break-even rate average of 2 percent. If actual inflation exceeds 1.8 percent, it would reward TIPS investors, but if it is lower than this threshold, U.S. Treasury bonds would come out ahead.&rdquo;
Other PIMCO inflation ETFs include the PIMCO Broad U.S. TIPS Index Exchange-Traded Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tipz#NYSE">TIPZ</a>) and the PIMCO 15+ Year U.S. TIPS Index Exchange-Traded Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ltpz#NYSE">LTPZ</a>).
