    About this ebook

    Improve the strength of your portfolio with this straightforward guide to bond investing

    Investing in Bonds For Dummies introduces you to the basics you need to know to get started with bond investing. You’ll find details on understanding bond returns and risks, and recognizing the major factors that influence bond performance. Unlike some investing vehicles, bonds typically pay interest on a regular schedule, so you can use them to provide an income stream while you protect your capital. This easy-to-understand guide will show you how to incorporate bonds into a diversified portfolio and a solid retirement plan.

    • Learn the ins and outs of buying and selling bonds and bond funds
    • Understand the risks and potential rewards in corporate bonds, government bonds, and beyond
    • Diversify your portfolio by using bonds to balance stocks and other investments
    • Gain the fundamental information you need to make smart bond investment choices

    This Dummies investing guide is great for investors looking for a resource to help them understand, evaluate, and incorporate bonds into their current investment portfolios.
