A compelling observation was made by Jeffrey Sherman, deputy chief investment officer at DoubleLine, on stage at the Astoria Advisors Macro Summit. He had just stated, “As a bond investor, I'm here to tell you that we're not special, but that we tend to be more risk-averse.
The market narrative appears to change on a dime these days. Stocks may have staged a comeback to recoup almost all their post-“Liberation Day” losses.

AGGA is an investment management firm that employs a strategy of actively managing core fixed income exposure through the utilization of third-party Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). This management approach relies heavily on macroeconomic analysis to make informed investment decisions. The types of investments included in AGGA's portfolio comprise US Treasuries, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and high-yield bonds, spanning various durations. The firm also allocates a smaller portion of its portfolio to ETFs that provide exposure to non-US fixed income assets, such as emerging market securities.
The advisers at AGGA leverage proprietary methods that are influenced by various factors, including market trends, prevailing interest rates, and credit risk assessments. This enables them to make adjustments to the portfolio with the goal of outperforming broad-based benchmarks. AGGA typically maintains a selection of 5 to 15 underlying ETFs, allowing for flexibility in its investment strategy. Rebalancing of portfolio allocations takes place at least on a monthly basis or whenever necessary, reflecting changing market conditions. Notably, AGGA operates as a non-diversified fund, which permits it to concentrate a larger share of its assets in fewer securities.
