In this special episode of the Advisor Insider podcast, Jeff Benjamin, etf.com wealth management editor, breaks down some bond math with Alex Morris, the chief executive officer at F/M Investments.

The Fed cut rates this month for the first time in more than four years and that means a return to risk assets for some investors sitting in cash. But [fixed income](https://www.etf.com/topics/fixed-income) is still an important area of portfolio diversification, and Morris talks about how far out on the yield curve investors should be going as short-term interest rates drop.

Spoiler alert, the smart money will add duration and slowly step out on the yield curve.
