Lubomai's Patrick Barbe said in a report that Eurozone government bonds with maturities of 5 to 10 years are attractive, especially when compared to money market interest rates. However, the European fixed income director said that due to changes in the asset allocation of Dutch pension funds, we need to be cautious about bonds with maturities longer than 15 years. This will reduce the longevity of its portfolio to invest in stocks, private equity, real estate, and other diversified assets, says Barbie. He said, “The bonds they are selling involve highest-rated government bonds, so we are reducing our holdings of these bonds and increasing our holdings of Southern and Eastern European bonds.”
