Fixed income is a portfolio stabilizer, says Devereux
July 21, 2025
In a recent appearance on Bloomberg TV, Sara Devereux, global head of fixed income at Vanguard, underscored the importance of staying disciplined and building resilient portfolios in today’s uncertain economic environment. She pointed to fixed income as a strategic portfolio stabilizer amid tariff-driven inflation pressures and evolving policy dynamics.
“We think it’s a good time to be disciplined—discipline delivers,” she said. “Look through the noise, focus on the long term, and build resilient portfolios.”
