Ever wondered how the dynamic world of bond markets can impact your investments? Join us as we engage with Harley Bassman, a Wall Street veteran, to uncover the intricate relationship between Fed funds rates, two-year notes, and their broader implications for inflation and long-term bonds. Harley's extensive career, from Merrill Lynch to Simplify Asset Management, provides a unique lens through which we explore the future of interest rates and market stability.
We then shift our focus to the innovative strategies of Simplify Asset Management and their groundbreaking use of derivatives within ETFs. Discover how these professional tools, traditionally exclusive to seasoned investors, are now accessible to everyday traders, potentially outperforming hedge funds through reduced fees and smart structuring. Despite the benefits, we address the prevalent misconceptions about derivatives and the cautious stance often adopted by financial advisors.
Our conversation also spans leverage funds, mortgage rates, and the potential for a steepening yield curve. By dissecting long-term interest rate trends and inflation expectations, we explore their impact on housing and mortgage bonds. Moreover, we discuss the broader economic outlook and the possibility of a hard landing, all while appreciating Harley's insightful perspectives. This episode promises to equip you with a deeper understanding of market dynamics and innovative investment strategies.
