Risk notes present

TLT is a direct long-duration Treasury expression. Given the thesis that persistent Treasury supply and sticky fiscal issuance should keep long-end yields pressured higher, TLT serves as a hedge against this risk by providing exposure to long-duration assets that may struggle under such conditions.
