Bill Gross's Significant Income Opportunities in 2011 |
Seeking Alpha - Jan. 25, 2011 - by Dirk Quayle
The first installment of Barron’s Roundtable appeared in its January 22nd issue of the magazine. Top investment strategists once again offered their market outlook and specific picks. One of the better known strategists is Bill Gross from PIMCO. In 2010 Gross’s income oriented picks provided the highest absolute return and beat the LikeAssets benchmark by a greater margin than any of the other top nine strategists (this comparison excludes strategists’ picks not available on U.S. stock exchanges). Gross's 2009 performance also scorched the LikeAssets benchmarks with his income picks. Income seeking investors might want to consider Gross’s 2011 picks given his track record to date, but with a couple of cautionary notes.
Bill Gross Picks – Historical Analysis
Gross's 2009 Picks' Performance
In January 2009 Gross advised income investors to buy the TIPs ETF (TIP), a closed end fund, Pimco High Income Fund (PHK), preferred stocks of banks, and an AIG (AIG) Bond. It would have been a rough ride for the first month as PHK plunged by 50% in the last gasp of the 2008 crisis, but after that an investor would have been golden. Holding TIP and PHK until next January when Gross offered his 2010 picks returned 54%, almost 40% above the LikeAssets benchmark. PHK was the star with a return of 102%, 82.5% above the high yield bond benchmark.
