Bonds
Bonds represent a debt interest in the entity (corporations,
government agencies, etc.) that issues them. Individuals buy a bond
(or a group of bonds) as a method of creating an investment that
provides a fixed rate of return over a defined period. Analysis of
a fixed income bond portfolio requires a specialist to determine
the probability of the desired rate of return, liquidity and the
safe return of principal. Depending on your particular situation,
selected bonds may also offer a tax advantage that may increase
your portfolio's yield.
