First of all, we need to know the basic situation of bond funds. Bond funds are operated and managed by fund companies. After investors buy fund shares, fund companies will use these funds to buy fixed-income instruments such as bonds. Therefore, the investment risk of bond funds is relatively low, but there are also some risks, such as credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. When these risks lead to the decline of bond fund prices, investors need to take corresponding actions.
Secondly, investors can deal with the decline and loss of bond funds through the following aspects.
1. Diversified investment
Investors can spread their funds among multiple bond funds to reduce the risk of a single fund falling. At the same time, different funds can also cross-hedge, so as to balance the fluctuation of bond funds' returns and reduce the overall risk by taking advantage of the differentiated characteristics between different funds.
2. Tracking index funds
The investment method of tracking index funds is to track fixed-income benchmark indexes, such as China Bond Comprehensive Wealth Index and CSI government bond index. In order to pursue a similar rate of return and risk level to the index. The advantage of tracking index funds is low cost, and it can strike a balance between the ability to identify fund managers and the risk-return ratio of market fluctuations. Of course, such funds also have certain risks, such as the decline in the net value of the fund caused by the decline in the benchmark index.
3. Be patient and strengthen risk control.
In the process of bond funds' losses, investors need to keep calm and strengthen risk control. If necessary, you can properly close your positions, collect income to reduce risks, or invest more money in low-risk fixed-income products. But investors also need to be patient and not rush to sell, so as not to lose more opportunities.
Generally speaking, in view of the decline and loss of bond funds, investors need to diversify their investments, control risks and patiently deal with possible risks. In addition, before buying any fund products, investors must carefully understand the investment strategy, management team and product characteristics of the fund in order to make more informed investment decisions.
