In this video, Matt Blocki breaks down the intricacies of bond investing against the backdrop of market volatility and rising interest rates in 2022. He challenges the notion that bonds are always the safe part of an investment portfolio, highlighting the risks when interest rates climb, as exemplified by the failure of Silicon Valley Bank.

Blocki explains the impact of interest rate increases on bond values and the importance of investment duration, showing how selling bonds before maturity in a high-rate environment can lead to losses. He emphasizes a strategic approach to managing 'safe money,' suggesting a diversified portfolio with a mix of liquid assets and bonds of different durations.

This, he argues, is essential for maintaining financial stability, especially for retirees, and ensuring access to funds without jeopardizing long-term investment objectives amidst fluctuating interest rates.
