Access the unprecedented potential of bond investing!

Bonds have come a long way in recent years. No longer just a relatively safe and secure investment, bonds now offer the potential for capital appreciation in addition to interest income. All About Bonds, Bond Mutual Funds, and Bond ETFs is the key to understanding both traditional and new types of bond investments.

This detailed but accessible introduction covers everything from basic bond characteristics to fixed-income investment techniques. You'll gain a thorough education on such topics as yield, liquidity, duration, convexity, valuation, and emerging markets and find the answers to many questions a bond investor will ask, such as:

  • What percentage of my portfolio should be dedicated to bonds?
  • What are the newest products and where do I find them?
  • What are the risks involved with investing in bonds, bond mutual funds and bond ETFs?
  • How can I use the Internet to my advantage?
