The ‘Sell Treasuries’ Cry Is Serious Now to Western Asset

Western Asset Management Co.’s Mark Lindbloom has an answer for investors wondering when they should sell their government bonds: That would be now.

Lindbloom has been doing just that over the past two weeks as a money manager helping to oversee Western Asset’s $10.2 billion Core Plus fund in the U.S., which has beaten 94 percent of its peers in 2014 on the back of the Treasuries rally. The fund started paring government-debt allocations last month after a year of boosting its holdings relative to benchmark indexes.
