Article Abstract:

Recent government legislation has been geared toward raising revenue. The substantial amount of dollars in pension funds is being targeted by the government in its campaign to reduce budget deficits. Congress has begun by placing pension-related exclusions at the top of the list of federal tax expenditures for 1995 and 1996. Pension planners are employing different strategies in formulating their portfolio mix, such as the matching of assets and liabilities and managing interest rate and currency risks.

High yield bonds sustain investment pace

Article Abstract:

The Treasury market has been the most volatile of all fixed-income instruments from Mar. 31, 1991 to 1995, yielding 6.08% to 9.20%. The year 1994 has proven that interest rate risks could be costlier than credit risks. High yield bonds have been sustaining higher returns from 6.77% to 7.93% in 1995. They have reached a new level of maturity and should not be shunned by pension planners as they are not as risky.
