TIGA Doesn’t Mean Sell Equities

We are not advocating that investors abandon equities. TIGA means there is a good alternative, and diversified portfolio decisions should reflect it. We think investors should consider taking the following steps:

Rebalance toward targets. Years of equity outperformance have likely left many portfolios overweight stocks relative to their intended allocation.
Revisit the role of bonds. Bonds can once again produce meaningful income and serve as a counterweight to equity risk.
Match risk to time horizon. Investors with defined income needs can lock in 5%-plus yields and reduce their reliance on more volatile stocks.

funny though how many people are still hating on bonds because they have fallen (losses for the year and since 2021) and seem to continue to (more fed hikes seem to be in the offing this year and next unless inflation comes down more between now and then).

I think that highlights:

-Bonds vs bond funds

-People may be taking on more duration risk than they're actually prepared to weather
