Forbes: James St. Aubin on the Benefits of Bond Laddering

Carving out a chunk of your nest egg to buy debt securities that you hold until maturity offers predictable income and principal protection in an unpredictable world. When Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) blew up last month, it provided aging investors with a textbook example of what can go wrong with even the most conservative of bond holdings.

“If I have a 10-year window where I know that I’m completely safe from having to sell anything if the markets don’t go in the right direction, that’s a great place to be,” says James St. Aubin, chief investment officer of Sierra Mutual Funds and Ocean Park Asset Management, in Santa Monica, California.
