As part of its research on risk premia, Risk Premium Invest has given particular importance to the study of the US Treasury bond market. This market plays a central role in the valuation of all other assets. This is especially true today in a context of high inflation and tighter monetary policies.

Risk Premium Invest has developed a very original methodology to estimate the Fed’s monetary policy expected by investors and the risk premia they require.

Dans le cadre de ses recherches consacrées aux primes de risque, Risk Premium Invest a accordé une importance particulière à l’étude du marché des obligations du Trésor américain. Ce marché joue en effet un rôle central dans la valorisation de tous les autres actifs. C’est particulièrement vrai aujourd’hui dans un contexte d’inflation élevée et de durcissement des politiques monétaires.

Risk Premium Invest a développé une méthodologie très originale pour estimer les primes de risque requises par les investisseurs et leurs anticipations concernant la politique monétaire de la banque centrale américaine.
