The quarterly publication of the Stable Value Investment Association
Third Quarter 2002 • Volume 6 Issue 3
Editor's Corner
By Wendy Cupps, CFA, Pacific Investment Management Company
I never thought I would see the day when Stable Value would be labeled "sexy." But with the stock and credit markets performing so poorly, a July 25 Wall Street Journal actually stated that "these days, Stable Value looks downright sexy."
And not only is it gaining sex appeal, but Stable Value also seems to be earning back some respect. Stable value funds are receiving large inflows as investors search for stability in the midst of a very volatile market. The press has also increasingly recognized its newfound value and has written several favorable articles
on Stable Value investing. We highlight some of these "press-sightings" in this issue of Stable Times.
Maybe our industry's newfound sex appeal will get your attention! Then again.... I don't think many folks in our industry think that sex is what sells when they're talking about Stable Value. But we are happy to see the attention being given to an investment option that has so many positive characteristics for investors.
We would like to hear from you on other topics that you would like us to address, and get your feedback on the articles that have already been published.
