Warnings about Long-Term Bonds

By Jessie Wilkens on December 21, 2011 in Uncategorized

Be careful about linking your money to inflation for the next six years, warns Andrew Goodwin, an economic consultant with ITEM club. Many people who have been avidly saving their nest eggs are now being targeted by banks that want them to put their money into long-term bonds.

Experts, however, are warning savers that these accounts may not be all that they’re cracked up to be, as the inflation rates may have peaked.

As Justin Modray from the website candidmoney reports,

“There are so many uncertainties in the economy, including the Eurozone. What really matters when buying inflation-linked bonds is future inflation, not the current rate. Buying products based on the current retail prices index (RPI) is potentially misleading, especially as inflation looks more likely to fall than rise over the next few years.”

Those in the know say that, instead, people who are looking to save would be better off with a fixed-rate bond.

As Kevin Mountford from Moneysupermarket said, “One and two-year fixed-rate bonds rates look good value as inflation is expected to fall. The index-linked deals are on sale when the inflation is at an all-time high.”

Vis-a-vis investments, it is worth contacting companies that have developed tried and tested hedge fund strategies with a solid reputation when considering trying to make substantial profits.
