Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities
English term or phrase: provide ballast
Es geht um die Entwicklung von US-Anleihen und Aktien:

With yields hovering at record‑low levels, investors may not be getting compensated for the increased duration risk if rates were to revert higher. While investors may be rethinking how to hedge against their equity exposures, US Treasuries still ***provide ballast*** even if their positive appreciation may be tempered at current levels, and importantly provide liquidity when it is at a premium.

Explanation:
Hiermit dürfte gemeint sein, dass US-Staatsanleihen trotz historisch niedriger Renditen nach wie vor als Gegengewicht zu (risikoreicheren) Aktienanlagen dienen und auch in einem herausfordernden Umfeld zur Stabilisierung eines Portfolios – auch mit Blick auf den Kapitalerhalt – beitragen.
