F Fund Dynamics?
If the S and C fund fell 15% would the F fund most likely offer better return than the G Fund? How safe is the F fund if the market goes bear?
Re: F Fund Dynamics?
The F-fund and AGG highly correlate. You can chart AGG back to 2003 and see how it did during corrections. You can also superimpose the S & P 500, DWCPF, EFA (or equivalents) for comparison purposes.tspwizard1 wrote:If the S and C fund fell 15% would the F fund most likely offer better return than the G Fund?

Re: F Fund Dynamics?
True. I would be careful this time around. I'm not sure if the AGG will also be hit with our next crisis. This is primarily due to the huge amount of corporate debt (https://www.economist.com/briefing/2019 ... t-mountain). We'll see though. Most likely it's something we didn't see, like the lizard people in charge doing something funny or Area 51 finally coming alive.userque wrote:The F-fund and AGG highly correlate.

Re: F Fund Dynamics?
The AGG will do ok in the next crisis but not great, as the feds first move will be to immediately reduce interest rates to zero. The AGG does well when interest rates are falling, but they don’t have very far to fall and it will happen most likely VERY fast. After that is anyone’s guess.
