WIW's performance is constrained by elevated interest rates, leading to a suppressed share price and a declining NAV over recent years. Compared to peers WIA and GTIP, WIW underperforms in total return and shows greater capital deterioration, despite consistent monthly payouts.

WIW: Stay Long While The Fed Cuts Interest Rates

The Western Asset Inflation-Linked Opportunities & Income Fund has performed well in 2024 as a Fed on hold has held interest rates in check and benefited the long-duration WIW. Looking forward, with the Fed beginning a rate-cutting cycle, long-term yields should continue to decline, benefiting long-duration funds like the WIW. The risk to watch out for is a resurgence in inflation, which could cause the Fed to stop cutting interest rates and may even spur another round of rate hikes.
