Our deep dive conversation into hedging interest rate volatility and inflation, with Nancy Davis, Founder and Managing Director of Greenwich, Connecticut-based Quadratic Capital Management LLC. We discuss markets, interest rates and interest rate volatility, and the risk of inflation making a comeback, from the perspective of IVOL being a strategic portfolio diversifier as well as being opportunistically priced. Davis discusses the asymmetry of being long 'convexity,' a way of investing in interest rate volatility where the potential for return is disproportionately greater than the investment because the risk is mis-priced.
We discuss how the Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF (IVOL:NYSE), her firm's ETF, is a solution for investors looking for investment options that have little or no correlation(do not behave the same way at the same time) to equities and bonds, and in the context of today's investment climate, represents an asymmetrical opportunity/addition that may be opportunistic and complementary to today's traditional portfolios.
The price of interest rate volatility also happens to be at an all time low, lower than even before the GFC. By the time we're done talking about what seems an otherwise complicated strategy, you'll be able to understand what it is. The rates market is the largest segment of financial markets and until now was for all intents and purposes, inaccessible by individual investors.
