Baird's Stanek: Don't stretch for extra yield in this low-rate environment

Noted bond fund manager Mary Ellen Stanek, chief executive officer at the Baird Funds, says that while the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates lower for longer, investors looking to generate yield need to be cautious because the places providing the best returns are a significant step up the risk spectrum. She also noted that while mortgage securities have been viewed by many as improving yields, she is underweight on them now because they have significant refinancing risk that could leave investors with cash to reinvest but little or no attractive places to put it.
