  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.36% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most

Who it is priced against

Why Closelooknet tracks it
Willis Towers Watson holds a seat in the S&P 500, the only index the diary records for it; it carries no Closelooknet score yet, and the diary has not quoted it in an edition so far.
What the diary watches
The diary watches how the balance between its advisory income and its insurance broking earnings shifts, since the two segments tend to move differently through underwriting cycles.
