The “Bond King” has a warning for investors jumping into the risk-on trade.

Jeffrey Gundlach, the legendary fixed-income investor and the CIO of DoubleLine Capital, said he was recommending that investors load up on cash, gold, and other “real assets” in their portfolios this year. Speaking to Bloomberg this week, he pointed to a handful of risks he saw looming over stocks and other risk assets — namely, the risk that the Fed could hike rates rather than cut them.

Gundlach, a longtime bear who’s repeatedly warned of hotter inflation and the US dollar eroding in value, pointed to expectations at the start of the year that the central bank would issue two to three rate cuts by 2026-end.

“If you’re buying risk assets on the back of only two rate cuts — is your high conviction idea — you’re back on the wrong horse. We’re not going to get rate cuts this year,” Gundlach said.
