Investors, especially retirees in need of income, are flocking to funds with high yields. This should mean more interest rate risk that comes with longer durations normally associated with higher rates. With rates low, even for “junk bonds,” the amount of price declines tied to interest rates returning to normal levels increases with duration, thus the concern about long duration funds.
