Institutional Fixed Income Managers Share QE3 Endgame Expectations
On September 14, the Federal Reserve announced that it would begin another round of quantitative easing by purchasing $40 billion dollars of mortgaged backed securities (MBS) a month. The plan, referred to as QE3 by analysts, is intended to boost a U.S. economy suffering from high unemployment. Investors have closely followed the Fed’s Quantitative Easing (“QE”) programs due to the unconventional monetary policies’ effects on broader asset markets, as well as the possibility that Fed actions may stoke inflation down the line. Given the open-ended nature of QE3, market expectations of the size, duration, and effectiveness of the plan may be both especially relevant and diverse.
