Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term bonds. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Investments in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) may bear additional risk. Investments in lower rated and unrated bonds may be more sensitive to default, downgrades, and market volatility; these investments may also be less liquid than higher rated bonds. Investments in derivatives are subject to the risks associated with the securities or other assets underlying the pool of securities, including illiquidity and difficulty in valuation. Investments in equity securities are subject to additional risks, such as greater market fluctuations. Additional risks may be associated with investments outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity, volatility, and political and economic risks. Investments in the Funds are not FDIC insured, nor are they bank deposits or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.
Residential-mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) are a debt-based security (similar to a bond), backed by the interest paid on loans for residences.
Securitized products are pools of financial assets that are brought together to create a new security, which is then divided and sold to investors.
Thornburg Co-Head of Investments Jeff Klingelhofer talks about the dislocations in credit markets and the opportunities that are surfacing as a result.
