Now is the time to buy homes,said Mark Kiesel,manager of a PIMCO Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund.There's a lot of pent-up demand for housing because rental prices are going up.A lot of the inventories are older.
Invest in building materials companies as well as construction.Timberland owner Weyerhaeuser gets 75% of its income from housing.Consider USG Corp. and Masco Corp.USG provides construction materials such as Sheetrock and Durock,while Masco offers building supplies,construction materials and contractor services.
Whirlpool gets 62% of its income from replacement,so remodeling benefits them.
Get into the emerging markets.We like to invest in 2-3 times the overall growth rate in fields such as gaming;gas distribution in China;and emerging markets banks.Brazil and Peru will see a lot of emerging markets growth.
Mr.Kiesel has an MBA from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.He is Morningstar's 2012 Fixed Income Manager of the Year.
