Venture capital has 'been dead' for last 4 years, this VC claims

Venture capital (VC) has faced significant challenges recently, exacerbated by higher borrowing costs and cautious investors. Despite initial hopes that the market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) would improve with a more business-friendly Trump administration and interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, conditions remain difficult. Tusk Venture Partners founder Bradley Tusk joins Catalysts to note that the venture capital landscape has been “effectively dead for the last four years." "There's been no liquidity, both in terms of IPOs or M&A activity — and there was hope, especially in the fall, that that would change for two reasons," Tusk says. "One, the Fed was cutting interest rates, which makes alternative assets more attractive. And two, the idea was with Trump coming in, you would have more kind of pro-business regulation, more pro-business regulators, and that combination." Tusk also observes that while the Fed had previously cut interest rates, central bank officials are unlikely to do so further, and the chaotic state of governance adds to the uncertainty. Tusk expresses doubt that liquidity will return soon, saying, “I’d be shocked if that happened” in the near term.

Short-term investing: Creating capital appreciation through bonds

In the current environment, managing short-term investments presents unique challenges for investors due to uncertainty. For investment management firm PIMCO, the short term is defined by capital preservation practices, typically in the 0-to-5-year range on the yield curve. PIMCO head of short-term portfolio management Jerome Schneider joins Asking for a Trend to emphasize the importance of managing cash effectively as interest rates fluctuate, especially across savings accounts. "Simply staying invested in how you manage your cash and focusing on that is incredibly important to performance these days. So, as people still continue to seek safety in this environment, we want to be very cognizant of how they're doing so, and bond yields (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX), as a whole, can do that," Schneider says. He also cites having interest rate exposure as a means to "prevent that left tail risk and create some capital appreciation." Schneider also highlights the global divergence in interest rate policies, noting that "there’s a divergence in interest rate policies" from central banks around the world, which creates unique opportunities. Watch the video above to hear Schneider fully share his insights on effective cash management while also offering advice on navigating bond investments.

The Smartest Vanguard ETF to Buy With $1,000 Right Now

Instead of investing in individual stocks, I'd suggest beginning with an exchange-traded fund (ETF). ETFs are a portfolio of investments, so they give you instant diversity as opposed to investing in a single company. For beginner investors and seasoned ones too, I like ETFs from investment company Vanguard.
