How bonds work
Summary
Bonds can play an essential role in an investor’s asset allocation strategy. Investors use bonds to help generate steady income, realize tax savings, preserve principal, and reduce portfolio risk via diversification. Although the advantages are clear, many investors avoid bond investing due to its alleged complexities. Join us as we demystify fixed income investing. Together we’ll review key terminology, the types of bonds, their unique characteristics, benefits, risks, and much more. We’ll also discuss the resources available on E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley to support your bond investing journey.
