By removing liquidity via massive purchases of high quality (and in some cases) low quality collateral, the impact on investors of central bank repression of interest rates around the world can be summed up in three simple words: “reach for yield.” These three ever-so-simple words provide blanket excuse for ‘investors’ to pile head long into far riskier investments than they ever would before and considerably lower levels of compensation than they would ever have accepted before… but hey, as long as the central bankers have got their backs, there will always be a greater fool?
