Key highlights:

A recent sharp repricing higher of interest rates across the yield curve has led to considerably higher yields on offer in most fixed income sectors today.
Over the long-term, yield (as opposed to price) is by far the most stable and reliable component of total return for bonds.
Higher break-evens (from higher yields) act as “shock absorbers”.
Investors no longer need to reach for higher yield by taking unnecessary credit or interest rate risk.
