Gross Takes a Shine to Government Debt


Want a glimpse inside Bill Gross' Total Return Fund? Gross has increased government-related debt holdings to 63 percent of the giant Pimco fund's portfolio, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

The figure is the highest proportion for the $192.6 billion fund since July 2004, according to Bloomberg's Daniel Kruger. Government-related debt made up only 48 percent of the portfolio as recently as September. Gross has also reduced holdings in mortgages to 16 percent, bringing that figure to its lowest since May 2004.

The third-largest component of the portfolio is investment-grade corporate securities, which make up 18 percent of assets.
