US Treasury Trap: Why I Won't Buy Them

Описание: For decades, the default playbook has been simple. When markets wobble, you hide in US Treasuries. They’re liquid, dollar‑backed, and supposed to protect portfolios when everything else goes wrong. But what if that assumption is now outdated? What if the world’s safest bond has become crowded, politicised, and structurally more fragile than investors realise? In this video, we’ll break down what actually makes a government bond “safe”, why US Treasuries may no longer behave like reliable insurance, and why as a UK investor I don’t own any. You’ll learn how currency risk, fiscal dynamics, and bond maths change the picture and how to think more clearly about safety in a world where the old rules may no longer apply.

When investing, your capital is at risk and you may get back less than invested. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. This information is not investment advice. Do your own research. Other fees may apply.
