CNBC "Squawk Box" interview: Stanek discusses bond investment outlook
Baird Funds President, Mary Ellen Stanek, CFA, appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” to discuss the economy and investing in bonds in this rising rate environment.
All investments carry risk, including loss of principal. Some of the potential additional risks associated with fixed income investments include call risk, reinvestment risk, default risk and inflation risk. Additionally, it is important that an investor is familiar with the inverse relationship between a bond’s price and its yield. Bond prices will fall as interest rates rise and vice versa. High yield securities may be subject to heightened market, interest rate or credit risk and should not be purchased solely because of the stated yield. Ratings are measured on a scale that ranges from AAA or Aaa (highest) to D or C (lowest). Investment grade investments are those rated from highest down to BBB- or Baa3.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of each fund carefully before investing. This and other information is found in the prospectus and summary prospectus.
