Has Bill Gross ditched his “long-short-long position” on US Treasuries?
Pimco on Tuesday published the latest holdings of its flagship Total Return Fund. The statistics are accurate as of 30 June. They show that Gross has increased TRF holdings of Treasuries to 8 per cent from the 5 per cent listed at the end of May.
Effective duration increased to 4.37 years from 3.73 years. Effective maturity also increased by one year, to 6.07 years from 5.08 years.
However, while this may suggest a change in strategy, it may also simply mean a flight to safety. The amount of portfolio derivatives remained the same (minus 9 per cent) from month-to-month.

The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
