Marco Pirondini, the CIO of Amundi US, shared the same sentiments as his colleague and warned investors about following the crowd this year. In a recent interview with Business Insider, Pirondini emphasized the advantages of adding longer-duration bonds at a time when yields remain near 5%. He noted that the asset class was a great way to ensure steady yields in a complex economic environment. When interest rates were lower, you could justify paying higher multiples. After the stress that banks endured in 2023, they are expected to be the beneficiaries of dropping interest rates, he said.

Hindsight is 20/20 — or in this case, 2023, which we can now call the year of the recession that never came. Increasing bond exposure will act as a type of long-term insurance policy by providing steady returns for a portfolio. "That doesn't mean that we cannot take risks anywhere in financial markets," Pirondini said. In my portfolio, 4% allocation was to catastrophe bonds last year. The return was about 20%, one of the best areas of any market, and this year, we are redoing the same asset allocation choice."

CNN Business spoke to Jon Hirtle, a broker at Goldman Sachs in 1987, to get his recollections about Black Monday. That’s led some Wall Street veterans to derisively refer to the NYSE as nothing more than a glorified TV studio. Goldman Sachs announced Tuesday that it is merging its trading and investment banking businesses into a single unit. CEO David Solomon said that the move is a “realignment” that will allow Goldman Sachs to better serve its customers. There are growing concerns on Wall Street (and Main Street) about an economic downturn.
