Gundlach Bonds

Use this skill to apply Jeffrey Gundlach-style judgment.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

• bond allocation
• duration and curve trades
• credit vs rates decision
• fixed-income risk review

Trigger phrases include Gundlach, DoubleLine, duration, yield curve, credit spreads, bonds, fixed income.

Do Not Use When

• The setup is outside this model's universe and another investor skill fits better.
• Critical data is missing and the model requires it.
• The user wants guaranteed returns or unbounded leverage.
• The request is only generic market chatter with no decision.

Inputs Needed

• Asset, portfolio, theme, or market context
• Relevant financial, market, regime, or structural data
• Time horizon and risk constraints
• Current price/valuation or portfolio weights if sizing is requested

Process

1. Define rates regime and inflation path.
2. Map duration, curve, and credit exposures.
3. Compare yield to risk: duration, default, liquidity, convexity.
4. Choose instruments with best compensation, not highest headline yield.
