This document provides an investment outlook and discusses strategies for fixed income investments in the current low interest rate environment. It notes that government bond yields have declined significantly from over 15% in 1981 to under 2% currently, meaning bonds no longer provide the income and safety they once did. The main takeaways are that investors should not rely on bonds for income and safety as much, and should consider strategies like flexible funds, mortgage-backed securities, and alternatives to navigate potential rising rates and lower bond prices. The outlook recommends avoiding long maturities and bond index funds, and not stretching for yield.
There is a lot of apprehensions associated with inverted yield curves and for good reason. From a macro-economic perspective, an inverted yield curve predicts poor economic
performances shortly. This is the reason why in August 2019 when a yield curve inversion was reported in the United States, the term recession was the most searched on Google in the country (Mendez-Carbajo, 2019). The two concepts are often related because, an inverted yield curve, more often than not, leads to a recession.
Will bank loans increase, or decrease? Will this stop the recovery in its tracks. Fed at moment is "puchasing" $85 bn in assets from banking system as traditional monetray policy is in "liquidity trap".

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

6. Game Plan
•Avoid Long Maturities
•Beware of Bond Index Funds
•Consider Flexible Strategies
•Don’t stretch for Yield
•Consider mortgage backed securities
•Investment globally
•Consider alternatives
•Think outside the box
9. Main Takeaways
• At this point in time, we believe investors should not rely on government bonds for income
and safety to the extent they have done in the past
• Central banks pushed yields down below inflation, in order to neutralize the financial crisis
• Central bank action has succeeded in bringing the financial crisis to an end, as well as
helped increase the value of stocks and real estate
• Government bond yields have slid from more than 15% in 1981 to less than 2% in 2013.
• While a significant rise in bond yields is not imminent, it will likely occur when the
employment situation improves. A rise in bond yields will result in lower bond prices.
• Various bonds may react very differently to a potential rise in yields.
• We have identified and implemented specific strategies to help our clients navigate through
the current environment.
• We also stand ready to help other people and organizations that our clients care about to
achieve their financial goals

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. A word about risk: Equities may decline in value due
to both real and perceived general market, economic and industry conditions. Investing in the bond market is subject
to certain risks including market, interest rate, issuer credit and inflation risk; investments may be worth more or less
than the original cost when redeemed. Investing in foreign denominated and/or domiciled securities may
involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuation, economic and political risk, which may be enhanced in emerging
markets. Mortgage and Asset –backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, subject to early
repayment risk, and their value may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of issuer creditworthiness; while
generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee, there is no assurance that private guarantors will
meet their obligations. High-Yield, lower rated, securities involve greater risk than higher rated securities;
portfolios that invest in them may be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risks than portfolios that do not.
Diversification does not ensure against loss. There is no guarantee that these investment strategies will work under
all market conditions or are suitable for all investors. Each investor should evaluate their ability to invest long-
term, especially during periods of downturn in the market. No strategy assures success or protects against loss.
