Scenario	Strategy
	Matching	Laddered	Barbell	Interest Rate
An investor that estimates their future cash outflows and then develops a bond portfolio that will generate enough coupon and principal payments to cover those outflows.
An investor that distributes funds in their portfolio to short-term and long-term bonds to achieve high rates of returns, while also maintaining liquidity in the portfolio.
An investor that creates a bond portfolio that has a wide range of maturities and, therefore, different sensitivities to interest rates, as to reduce (but not eliminate) interest rate risk.
An investor that distributes funds in their portfolio in a way that capitalizes on forecasted changes in interest rates.
