Holdings
0–3 month US T-bills. Close to cash, earns short-term rates.
20+ year Treasuries. Gains if rates fall, hurts if they rise.
Inflation-protected Treasuries.
Dry powder. Stays as cash in the basket account.
Thesis
Somewhere to park money without leaving the app: short T-bills for yield, inflation-protected bonds for real value, a slice of long bonds in case rates fall, and some USDC cash.
This is not a growth basket, and the history says so. Over five years, $1,000 would have become about $950, because long bonds (TLT) crashed in 2022 when rates rose. T-bills (SGOV) were the steady part.
It earns its place when rates fall or stocks have a bad year, not before.
Risks
Long bonds lose value when interest rates rise; TLT did badly in 2022. Ondo reinvests interest after withholding, which lowers returns. USDC earns nothing here.
Exit signal
I'd move the TLT slice into SGOV if long-term rates start rising again.
