CrossBorder Capital, June 2016 , Michael Howell

By this metric, bonds have never been more valuable
"Return is the most salient feature of any asset class, and it’s hard to get happy about 0%. In an asset allocation framework, however, return has different dimensions."
Vanguard, May 26, 2016 , Joe Davis, global chief economist.

All that fun for nothing!
"With surprising regularity, financial markets provide the opportunity to drop that phrase as a deadpanned summary of recent events."
Columbia Threadneedle Investments, Global Perspectives, April 25, 2016 , Jeffrey Knight, Global Head of Investment Solutions and Asset Allocation
