Rieder
  • Still like equities , but we have come a long way pretty quickly
  • Can evolve the portfolio and have a bit less equities at these multiples
  • You can get a lot of yield without going out on the yield curve
  • Thinks the Fed cuts rates at September meeting
  • Personally I think the fed funds rate is priced wrong
  • I would do 50 basis point cut sooner and I would have cut in July
  • I still like tech long-term, sector has terrific free cash flow generation
  • It's worth taking some chips off the table after this big rebound.
  • We're moving in the right direction on inflation
