It's a Fund that holds mainly Treasury Paper, Gilts and Supra-National Bonds. These instruments have increased in price hugely over the past few months, and many consider that they are overvalued.
If the Global Recession continues, and inflation remains under control then the prices of these instruments may rise even further on safe haven demand. But this is just about the only thing that can keep them at these levels for long.
If inflation takes off, and whenever the Global economy picks up again, these instruments will drop in value, quite sharply.'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
