- Part 1. Understanding the Basics
From a pure risk-management standpoint, this only matters if it's tied to a concrete position-sizing rule — understanding a concept without a sizing framework around it doesn't actually protect capital. Rate-cut cycles have historically favored small caps and rate-sensitive sectors like REITs and homebuilders, since falling discount rates increase the present value of future cash flows disproportionately for growth-heavy names. A crucial distinction is why the Fed is cutting: a cut from a position of strength (a "soft landing") has historically been far more bullish for equities than an emergency cut made during an active recession. Bond duration risk cuts both ways here too — falling rates lift the price of existing bonds you hold, but any new capital you deploy locks in a lower reinvestment yield.
