How should investors manage bond duration in an era of rising – and soon likely falling – interest rates?  

The challenge is that the longer the duration your bonds are, the higher yield usually is, but the more vulnerable those bonds are to rising rates. When rates fall, long-duration bonds go up (shorter duration much less). There are many ways investors can take advantage of changing interest rates. For more on the subject, Barry Ritholtz speaks with Karen Veraa, Head of iShares US Fixed Income Strategy at BlackRock.

Each week, “At the Money” discusses an important topic in money management. From portfolio construction to taxes and cutting down on fees, join Barry Ritholtz to learn the best ways to put your money to work.
