Citadel’s Global Fixed Income Fund suffered an 8.2 percent decline in March, marking its worst performance among the firm’s major strategies. The losses left the fund down 5.5 percent for the year, according to a Bloomberg report cited by Lawrence Lepard in the tweet.
This significant downturn suggests broad challenges in fixed income for hedge funds. Lepard compares the situation to 'rats abandoning' the fixed income sector.
Lepard recently noted that the BofA MOVE index is approaching previous volatility highs, referencing increased uncertainty in the bond market sector (BofA MOVE index volatility). He has also argued that current markets are uninvestable and recommended shifting to gold or bitcoin for stability (exiting to gold or bitcoin). These comments align with his ongoing skepticism toward traditional fixed income investments.
