The president said earlier that he recognizes that he’sgetting the Peace Prize less for tangible accomplishments thanas an expression of desire for U.S. leadership in efforts tobring peace. “I have no doubt there are others who may be moredeserving,” Obama said in a joint news conference in Oslo withPrime Minister Jens Stoltenberg. America’s Interest “The goal is not to win a popularity contest or to get anaward — even one as esteemed as the Nobel Peace Prize,” hesaid. “The goal has been to advance America’s interests, tostrengthen our economy at home, and to make ourselves acontinuing force for good in the world — something that we’vebeen for decades now. Criticism of the Nobel selection will subside if he issuccessful in efforts to build world peace, stabilizeAfghanistan, address climate change and reduce nuclear weapons,Obama said. “This was awarded on the basis of hope, rather thanexperience,” said Reginald Dale, a senior fellow for theEuropean program at the Center for Strategic and InternationalStudies in Washington. Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the five-member Nobelcommittee, said the awarding of the Peace Prize this year “must be viewed in the light of the prevailing situation in theworld, with great tension, numerous wars, unresolved conflictsand confrontations on many fronts.” Cooperative Climate Obama “has been trying to create a more cooperativeclimate which can help reverse the present trend,” Jagland saidin the text of his remarks at the ceremony. “It is now, today,that we have the opportunity to support President Obama’s ideas.This year’s prize is indeed a call for action to all of us.” The president arrived in Oslo early today and went directlyto the Nobel Institute where he signed a guest book in a roomwith walls covered in photographs of former laureates includingslain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The president noted that he and the first lady MichelleObama were touched by the wall of pictures. “When Dr. King won his prize it had a galvanizing effectaround the world, but also lifted his stature in the UnitedStates in a way that allowed him to be more effective,” Obamasaid. While Obama is the third sitting U.S. president to win theprize, he’s the first to win it so early in his term. Formerpresidents Theodore Roosevelt won in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson wonin 1919. Former President Jimmy Carter won in 2002 and formerVice President Al Gore received it in 2007, both after leavingoffice.

Gross Set for Record Book as Manager of Biggest Fund in History – Bloomberg.com Updated:New York, Dec 10 07:59London, Dec 10 12:59Tokyo, Dec 10 21:59 SYMBOL LOOKUP FEEDBACKHOMENEWSEXCLUSIVEWORLDWIDEREGIONSMARKETSINDUSTRIESECONOMYPOLITICSLAWENVIRONMENTSCIENCEOPINIONSPENDSPORTSARTS AND CULTUREEDITORS’ VIDEO PICKSBLOOMBERG MARKETS MAGAZINESPECIAL REPORTMARKET DATASTOCKSRATES & BONDSCURRENCIESMUTUAL FUNDSETFsCOMMODITIESECONOMIC CALENDARPERSONAL FINANCEJANE BRYANT QUINNJOHN DORFMANPORTFOLIO TRACKERCALCULATORSFINANCIAL GLOSSARYTV and RADIOBLOOMBERG TELEVISIONBLOOMBERG TELEVISION SYNDICATED REPORTSBLOOMBERG RADIOBLOOMBERG PODCASTSBLOOMBERG SHOWSCEO SPOTLIGHTCFO INSIGHTPORTFOLIO MATTERSMOBILEBUSINESSWEEKBUSINESS EXCHANGEBloomberg InnovatorsTechnologyCurrenciesForex Trading VideosETFsCEOCommoditiesJane Bryant QuinnJohn DorfmanPortfolio TrackerCalculatorsFinancial GlossaryRESOURCES Bloomberg TV Bloomberg RadioAudio/Video Reports Bloomberg PodcastsBloomberg Markets MagazineBloomberg Press More News • Convenience Checks Turn Inconvenient When Cuts to Card Limits Trigger Fees • Homeowners in U.S. Lost $5.9 Trillion Since 2006 as Defaults Cut Values • Pimco Says `Fear Not,’ Weaker Dollar Will Spur Growth, Keep Reserve Status Gross Set for Record Book as Manager of Biggest Fund in History Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print |A A A By Charles Stein Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) — Pimco Total Return Fund, run by BillGross since its inception in 1987, is set to become the biggestmutual fund in the industry’s history as individual investorsmostly sit out the 2009 stock rally for the safety of bonds. Based on the pace of current inflows, Gross’s bond fundthis month may surpass the record $202.3 billion reached byGrowth Fund of America in 2007, according to researcherMorningstar Inc. Total Return managed $199 billion at Nov. 30,while Growth Fund, which buys stocks, had $153 billion. Total Return took in $42 billion of new cash this yearthrough October, four times more than any other U.S. mutualfund, Morningstar data show. The growth underscores thereluctance of individuals to invest in equities even after U.S.stocks surged 61 percent from a 12 1/2-year low in March, andthe appeal of Gross’s returns, which beat all but four similarfunds in the past decade. “Last year was a time when many funds got burned, but thebiggest fund of all did fine,” Russel Kinnel, director ofmutual-fund research at Chicago-based Morningstar, said in aphone interview. Gross, co-chief investment officer of Pacific InvestmentManagement Co. in Newport Beach, California, returned 4.8percent last year while the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, abenchmark for the largest U.S. equities, lost 37 percentincluding dividends. Investors added a net $297 billion to bond funds in thefirst 10 months of 2009, compared with $12 billion for stockfunds, according to Morningstar. Return Since Inception Total Return climbed an average of 8.5 percent annuallyincluding dividends from its opening in May 1987 through Dec. 4.That compares with the gain of 7.4 percent by the Barcap U.S.Aggregate Total Return Index. The Pimco fund has returned 14percent this year. The size of Gross’s fund, already the largest based oncurrent assets, could pose problems because many investments maybe too small to have a meaningful impact on performance, saidT.J. Marta, chief market strategist at Marta On The Markets LLC,a financial-research firm in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. “You can’t cherry-pick the best investments because youdon’t get enough return for your buck,” Marta said. Bond markets are sufficiently large and liquid toaccommodate a $200 billion fund without hurting returns orrestricting selection, Jeff Tjornehoj, senior research analystat Lipper in Denver, said in a telephone interview. The U.S.bond market had $34.3 trillion of debt outstanding in the secondquarter, according to data from the Securities Industry andFinancial Markets Association, a New York-based trade group. Advantage of Heft Gross said size would be a legitimate issue if the fundunderperformed the market for several years. “For over 20 yearsnow, it has not been,” he wrote in an e-mail. The fund’s heft creates advantages, including better accessto the issuers of debt and the ability to receive more“attractive new-issue allocations,” Gross said. The fund can hold derivatives, which are securities whose value is derived from an underlying asset such as debt, stocks or commodities. Derivatives can expand the universe of investments for a fund. Gross increased his holdings of government-related debt inOctober to 63 percent of the fund’s assets, the highest in fiveyears, according to the most recent data available on Pimco’sWeb site. The “systemic risk” of new asset bubbles is rising as theFederal Reserve keeps interest rates at record lows, Gross wrotein a commentary published last month. Under what Pimco has termed the “new normal,” investorsshould be prepared for lower-than-average historical returnswith heightened government regulation, lower consumption, slowergrowth and a shrinking global role for the U.S. economy. Mortgage Holdings Fall Total Return’s holdings of mortgage debt fell to 16 percentof the portfolio by market weight from 22 percent in September,matching their smallest percentage of the assets since May 2004.Investment-grade corporate securities rose to 18 percent of thefund from 17 percent, while high-yield bonds fell to 1 percentfrom 2 percent, according to the firm’s Web site. Total Return rose 7.7 percent annually in the 10 yearsended Nov. 30, according to Morningstar. The four comparablefunds with better gains are: the $9.3 billion Natixis LoomisSayles Investment Grade Bond Fund, which returned 9 percent; the$5.8 billion Delaware Diversified Income Fund, up 8.8 percent;the $403 million Frontegra Columbus Core Plus Fund, whichincreased 8 percent; and the $11.9 billion TCW Total Return BondFund, which returned 7.9 percent. ‘Rare Trait’ Pimco Total Return started the decade with $28 billion inassets. As the fund grew, Gross shifted from picking individualbonds to placing bets on specific categories such as mortgage,corporate and government bonds, said Eric Jacobson, director offixed-income research at Morningstar, which gives the fund itshighest rating of five stars. “It’s a rare trait to manage at that level,” he said. Gross’s comments on the economy, interest rates and thebond market, made on Pimco’s Web site as well as on televisionand radio, are closely followed by investors. In an October 2005 investment commentary, Gross predicted a“slam-dunk” scenario in which housing prices would cool,leading to a decline in “funny-money” lending practices andhome equity, a weakening of the U.S. economy and a reduction ininterest rates by the Federal Reserve. “If real housing prices decline in the U.S. in 2006 and2007, a recession is nearly inevitable,” Gross wrote. Arecession began in December 2007, according to the NationalBureau of Economic Research. Little Junk He’s also known for avoiding high-yield, or junk, bonds.The average credit rating of bonds in the fund is AA, the thirdhighest on Standard & Poor’s scale, with 4 percent of assets injunk, according to the fund’s Web site. Gross, 65, is a stamp collector and has said he turned $200into $10,000 while playing blackjack for four months in LasVegas after college. He was born in the Ohio steel-company townof Middletown. A graduate of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina,with a psychology degree in 1966, he spent three years in theNavy and served in Vietnam. Gross joined Pimco after earning aMaster of Business Administration degree from the University ofCalifornia in Los Angeles in 1971. He began using yoga more than a decade ago and credits hismeditation sessions with clearing his head and helping himabsorb unexpected news, such as a Fed half-point interest ratecut in January 2001. The news caught him in the middle of a“sun salutation,” which softened the blow, he said at thetime. Total Return attracted $115 billion since the start of thedecade, the most of any mutual fund. Growth Fund of America, runby Los Angeles-based Capital Group Cos., was second with $99billion. Pimco, a unit of Munich-based insurer Allianz SE,managed $940 billion in assets as of Sept. 30. “They’ve got a well-known visible manager, a great brandand they’ve been successful,” Tjornehoj said.

Ron Paul’s Fed-Bashing Wins Over Lawmakers Wary of Bank’s Power – Bloomberg.com Updated:New York, Dec 10 03:53London, Dec 10 08:53Tokyo, Dec 10 17:53 SYMBOL LOOKUP FEEDBACKHOMENEWSEXCLUSIVEWORLDWIDEREGIONSMARKETSINDUSTRIESECONOMYPOLITICSLAWENVIRONMENTSCIENCEOPINIONSPENDSPORTSARTS AND CULTUREEDITORS’ VIDEO PICKSBLOOMBERG MARKETS MAGAZINESPECIAL REPORTMARKET DATASTOCKSRATES & BONDSCURRENCIESMUTUAL FUNDSETFsCOMMODITIESECONOMIC CALENDARPERSONAL FINANCEJANE BRYANT QUINNJOHN DORFMANPORTFOLIO TRACKERCALCULATORSFINANCIAL GLOSSARYTV and RADIOBLOOMBERG TELEVISIONBLOOMBERG TELEVISION SYNDICATED REPORTSBLOOMBERG RADIOBLOOMBERG PODCASTSBLOOMBERG SHOWSCEO SPOTLIGHTCFO INSIGHTPORTFOLIO MATTERSMOBILEBUSINESSWEEKBUSINESS EXCHANGEBloomberg InnovatorsTechnologyCurrenciesForex Trading VideosETFsCEOCommoditiesExclusiveWorldwideRegionsMarketsIndustriesEconomyPoliticsLawEnvironmentScienceOpinionSpendSportsArts and CultureEditors’ Video PicksBloomberg Markets MagazineSpecial ReportRESOURCES Bloomberg TV Bloomberg Radio Bloomberg PodcastsBloomberg Press More News • Gross Headed for Record Book as Manager of Biggest Mutual Fund in History • Hildebrand Sets Sights on `Sacred Cows’ of Swiss Banking as SNB Job Looms • Pfizer Faces Life After Lipitor by Embracing Bio-Generics to Spur Growth Ron Paul’s Fed-Bashing Wins Over Lawmakers Wary of Bank’s Power Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print |A A A By Catherine Dodge Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) — For U.S. Representative Ron Paul, theninth time may be the charm. After fighting for decades to increase scrutiny of theFederal Reserve or abolish it, the Texas Republican’s proposalrequiring audits of the central bank’s interest-rate decisionsis getting traction. The long-shot 2008 presidential candidate whose anti-tax,anti-government politics struck a chord with a swath of votersis again channeling public frustration with big government,bailouts and rising federal debt. And as Paul trains his sightson his favorite villain, the Fed, many in Congress arelistening. “We live in the age of the people demanding moretransparency, and that came out of the failure of Congress tomonitor the bailouts,” Paul, 74, said in an interview. “I wasable to tap into that.” Paul’s message, once delivered mostly from the politicalmargins, has found broader acceptance as many lawmakers blamethe Fed for failing to curtail excesses that led to thefinancial crisis. These lawmakers say that as the Fed’s role has expanded, ithasn’t sufficiently accounted for putting taxpayers’ money atrisk, including aid to companies such as Citigroup Inc. andAmerican International Group Inc., both based in New York. “He’s ready with an argument that fits the moment,” saidBruce Buchanan, a political scientist at the University of Texasin Austin. “It’s an argument that used to seem extreme, but nowseems reasonable given the view the Fed contributed to thefinancial meltdown by failing to exercise due oversight.” House Debate The House is to start debate today on broader legislationoverhauling U.S. financial rules. Included in it is Paul’sproposal to remove the shield on congressional audits ofmonetary policy. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, at a Senate hearing Dec. 3,said Paul’s proposal could subject the central bank to politicalpressure and undermine its credibility. “My fear is that if we were to take what might beperceived as an unpopular step, that Congress would order anaudit, which would be a way, essentially, of applyingpressure,” he said. The Fed also faces scrutiny in the Senate. Bankingcommittee chairman Christopher Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat, issponsoring legislation to strip it of authority to supervisebanks and protect consumers. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki declined to comment onPaul’s amendment. More than 300 House lawmakers, a majority ofthe chamber’s 435 members, have signed on to back it. Good Timing Representative Mel Watt, a North Carolina Democrat, saidPaul “found a good political time to try to do this becauseeverybody is somewhat disenchanted with the Fed.” Watt wasamong those opposing Paul’s proposal when it passed the HouseFinancial Services Committee. Watt said he hopes that if and when the House bill onfinancial regulation is merged with a Senate version, “we’llfind our way back to a better” approach than Paul’s to dealingwith Fed scrutiny. Paul’s plan faces resistance in the Senate. Senator JuddGregg, a New Hampshire Republican, vowed to block any measurecontaining it. No Debate During his 11 House terms, Paul has introduced legislationto abolish the Fed six times and to conduct the audits threetimes. Until now, none was even debated in committee. “I’ve been speaking and writing on this subject for morethan 30 years, but there was a time when hardly anyone caredwhat I had to say,” Paul wrote in his latest book “End theFed.” “The economic crisis has changed everything.” Paul, who ran for president in 1988 as the LibertarianParty candidate, also advocates a return to linking the dollarto gold. Representative Brad Sherman of California, a Democrat whosupported Paul’s amendment in the Financial Services Committee,said his position isn’t an endorsement of Paul’s broader views. “If you left it up to Ron, he’d convert the Fed buildinginto residential condos.” Sherman said. “His amendment is farless radical than his rhetoric.” AIG Factor Financial Services panel chairman Barney Frank, aMassachusetts Democrat, said the Fed’s failure to placecompensation restrictions on AIG, the insurer bailed out by theU.S. government and later vilified by Congress over bonuspayments, fueled momentum for Paul’s amendment. Paul’s stance on many issues goes beyond the Republicanmainstream. He has proposed scrapping the income tax and sees nofederal role in education or health care. He opposed the Iraqwar and the Patriot Act, which gave law enforcement greaterlatitude to investigate terrorism. “I am very, very confident that the message of freedom andlimited government and non-interventionist foreign policy is theright way to go, and I think people like to hear that,” Paulsaid. A retired obstetrician, Paul practices what he preaches. Herefuses his congressional pension and didn’t allow his fivechildren to take federal student loans. Paul’s views drew enthusiastic crowds during his 2008presidential bid, in which his campaign treasury outpacedhigher-profile candidates. Paul raised $34.5 million, more thandouble that collected by now-Vice President Joe Biden in theDemocratic presidential race. Paul said that while his audit proposal has advanced beyondhis expectations, he doesn’t see smooth sailing ahead. “I just can’t imagine the president being allowed to signa bill like that,” he said. “He would hear too much aboutit.” To contact the reporter on this story:Catherine Dodge in Washington at cdodge1@bloomberg.net Last Updated: December 9, 2009 00:01 EST
