Thanks to the global economic slowdown and the European debt crisis, the demand from savers for safe assets has overwhelmed the supply. Investors have poured $190 billion into global bond funds this year, according to EPFR Global, a data company, while other funds have seen a net outflow of $1.34 trillion. Almost $1 trillion has gone into bond funds since the start of 2009. This is one of those times when, as they say, it is the return of capital not the return on capital that matters. Low bond yields are a deliberate aim of central-bank policies to stimulate the economy at a time when they have already cut interest rates to close to zero. Low yields are to be expected in any downturn. The effects of the downturn would not count for so much, though, had it not been for the long-running bull market in bonds that preceded it, a market that brought great returns as it drove yields down.
